BASE = "https://withpersona.com/api/v1"

# Handle Persona API rate limits with exponential backoff and request queuing
resp = requests.get(f"{BASE}/inquiries?page[size]=10", headers=HEADERS)
resp.raise_for_status()
inquiries = resp.json()["data"]
for inq in inquiries:
    print(f"  {inq['id']}: {inq['attributes']['status']}")
