Known Gotchas

⚠ Account-specific domain required (format: ACCOUNT_ID.suitetalk.api.netsuite.com) — no global endpoint
⚠ OAuth 1.0a (TBA) is complex to implement correctly — OAuth 2.0 is simpler but requires newer NetSuite version
⚠ NetSuite concurrency limits can reject requests during peak hours — implement backoff
⚠ Record types and field names are NetSuite-specific — requires ERP domain knowledge
⚠ SuiteScript (JavaScript in NetSuite) often easier for complex operations than REST API
⚠ REST API and SOAP API (SuiteTalk) have different capabilities — check which has the feature you need
⚠ Saved Searches provide powerful queries but require NetSuite admin to set up
