Returns

Every response uses the same {data, meta, links} envelope:

data: the answer, an object for a snapshot or a list when there is one row per entity.
meta: reference periods, retrieved_at, per-source attribution to reproduce on publish, and the stale flag.
links: a csv alternative when one is available.
