Build a REST API wrapper for Microsoft Fabric by using the `_base_api` helper function to manage HTTP methods, authentication clients, and responses. This approach standardizes API calls and ensures reliable integration within Semantic Link Labs.

The best way to handle pagination in Power BI REST API responses is to implement the response handling strategies provided by the `_base_api` helper. This function manages pagination logic and long-running operations (LROs) automatically for robust API interactions.

The `_base_api` helper function works with Azure Resource Manager APIs by providing a unified interface for constructing URLs, applying authentication clients, and routing HTTP methods. It standardizes request execution and error handling for Azure resources.

Yes, implementing these REST API patterns requires Python, as the Skill utilizes Python dependencies like `requests`, `pandas`, and `rapidfuzz` to execute HTTP methods, structure data, and handle string matching within the Semantic Link Labs environment.

REST API wrappers often fail during long-running operations if response handling strategies are not configured correctly. Use the `_base_api` helper to properly manage LRO polling, pagination, and error handling to prevent wrapper failures.
