### Handle AccessTokenInvalid Exception

Source: https://github.com/jasondilworth56/iracingdataapi/blob/main/README.md

Example of how to catch an AccessTokenInvalid exception and reinitialize the client with a new token. Token refreshing logic must be implemented externally.

```python
try:
  lap_data = idc.result_lap_data(subsession_id=12345678, cust_id=987654)
except AccessTokenInvalid:
  # access token is invalid
  new_token = do_something_in_your_code_to_refresh_token()
  idc = irDataClient(access_token=[NEW TOKEN])
  lap_data = idc.result_lap_data(subsession_id=12345678, cust_id=987654)
```

--------------------------------

### Initialize irDataClient with Username and Password

Source: https://github.com/jasondilworth56/iracingdataapi/blob/main/README.md

Instantiate the irDataClient using iRacing username and password for authentication. This method is used when OAuth2 is not available or preferred.

```python
from iracingdataapi.client import irDataClient

idc = irDataClient(username=[YOUR iRACING USERNAME], password=[YOUR iRACING PASSWORD])
```

--------------------------------

### Initialize irDataClient with OAuth2 Token

Source: https://github.com/jasondilworth56/iracingdataapi/blob/main/README.md

Instantiate the irDataClient using an OAuth2 access token. Ensure the token is valid. The client will raise an AccessTokenInvalid exception if the token expires.

```python
from iracingdataapi.client import irDataClient

idc = irDataClient(access_token=[YOUR OAUTH2 TOKEN])
```

--------------------------------

### Initialize irDataClient with Pydantic Type Hinting

Source: https://github.com/jasondilworth56/iracingdataapi/blob/main/README.md

Enable Pydantic model objects for method return types by setting use_pydantic to True during client initialization.

```python
idc = irDataClient(access_token=[YOUR OAUTH2 TOKEN], use_pydantic=True)
```

--------------------------------

### Access and Interpret Rate Limit Information

Source: https://github.com/jasondilworth56/iracingdataapi/blob/main/README.md

After making an API call, access the rate_limit property to check the status of API rate limits. This includes limit, remaining requests, and reset time.

```python
from iracingdataapi.client import irDataClient

idc = irDataClient(username=[YOUR iRACING USERNAME], password=[YOUR iRACING PASSWORD])

# Make an API call
idc.get_cars()

# Check rate limit information
if idc.rate_limit.has_data:
    print(f"Rate limit: {idc.rate_limit.limit}")
    print(f"Remaining requests: {idc.rate_limit.remaining}")
    print(f"Reset time (UTC): {idc.rate_limit.reset_time}")
    print(f"Seconds until reset: {idc.rate_limit.seconds_until_reset}")

    # Check if we're rate limited
    if idc.rate_limit.is_rate_limited:
        print("Rate limit exceeded! Wait before making more requests.")
```
