+## Getting started
+
+All organization endpoints live under `/v1/organizations/{organization}`, where `{organization}` is the organization's ID. Authenticate with `Authorization: Bearer <token>` and send `Accept: application/json`.
+
+**1. Find yourself.** Call `GET /v1/users/me/memberships`. Each membership contains the **organization ID** (use it as `{organization}` in paths) and your **member ID** in that organization (the membership `id`). Most endpoints filter by member ID, not by user ID.
+
+**2. Scope to your own data.** For owners and admins, `GET /time-entries` and `GET /time-entries/aggregate` return the whole organization's time entries unless you pass `member_id`. When acting for "me", always pass your member ID, both when reading and before changing entries.
+
+**3. Resolve names to IDs.** Look up projects, clients, tags, tasks and members by name with their list endpoints (`GET /projects`, `GET /clients`, `GET /tags`, `GET /tasks`, `GET /members`). Never guess IDs.
+
+**4. Use UTC.** All timestamps are sent and returned in UTC as `Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z` (example: `2026-10-02T07:30:00Z`). Convert the user's local times and day boundaries to UTC before sending them.
+
+**5. Money is in cents.** Billable rates and costs are integers in cents of the organization's currency (`8000` means 80.00).
+
+## Common tasks
+
+- **Start a timer:** stop the running entry first (find it with `GET /v1/users/me/time-entries/active`, then `PUT` its `end`), then `POST /time-entries` with `start` and `end: null`. Only one entry can run per member.
+- **Log past work:** `POST /time-entries` once per block with `member_id`, `start`, `end`, `project_id` and `billable` set to the project's `is_billable` (it is not derived automatically).
+- **Fix or stop an entry:** `PUT /time-entries/{timeEntry}` with the new `start` or `end` in UTC.
+- **Move entries to another project:** list them with `member_id` and filters, then `PATCH /time-entries` with their `ids` and `changes.project_id`, plus `changes.task_id` set to a task of the new project or `null`.
+- **Totals and reports:** `GET /time-entries/aggregate` with `group` (for example `client` or `project`) and `start`/`end`; durations are in `seconds`, amounts in `cost` (cents).
+- **Share a report:** `POST /reports` with `is_public: true` and use the returned `shareable_link`.
