- ChapterList — Pagination envelope returned by every list endpoint. Wraps the result set with positional fields (`current_page`, `from`, `to`, `total`) and navigation URLs (`first_page_url`, `last_page_url`, `next_page_url`, `prev_page_url`) for traversing the full list. The records themselves are returned in a sibling `data` array supplied by the wrapping schema.
  - `current_page` integer — Number of the page returned by this response. The first page is `1`.
  - `first_page_url` string, uri — URL of the first page in the result set.
  - `from` integer — Position of the first record on this page within the full result set. The first record is at position `1`.
  - `last_page` integer — Number of the last page. Equals the total number of pages.
  - `last_page_url` string, uri — URL of the last page in the result set.
  - `next_page_url` string — URL of the next page in the result set. Empty string when the current page is the last page.
  - `path` string, uri — Canonical URL of the endpoint, without query parameters.
  - `per_page` integer — Maximum number of records returned per page.
  - `prev_page_url` string — URL of the previous page in the result set. Empty string when the current page is the first page.
  - `to` integer — Position of the last record on this page within the full result set.
  - `total` integer — Total number of records across all pages.
  - `data` Chapter[]
    - `created` string, date-time — Date and time when the chapter was created.
    - `description` object — Description shown for the chapter. Map keyed by locale code (for example, `en_GB` or `fr_FR`). Keys are drawn from the languages enabled on the account. Values are the translated string.
    - `managers` object[] — Users who manage the chapter.
      - `slug` string — Short URL-safe identifier for the user.
      - `link` string, uri — Canonical URL for the user resource.
      - `first_name` string — User's first name.
      - `last_name` string — User's last name.
    - `name` object — Display name of the chapter. Map keyed by locale code (for example, `en_GB` or `fr_FR`). Keys are drawn from the languages enabled on the account. Values are the translated string.
    - `season` object — Season the chapter belongs to.
      - `slug` string — Short URL-safe identifier for the season.
      - `link` string, uri — Canonical URL for the season resource.
      - `name` object — Map keyed by locale code (for example, `en_GB` or `fr_FR`). Keys are drawn from the languages enabled on the account. Values are the translated string.
    - `slug` string — Short URL-safe identifier for the chapter.
    - `status` string — Localized status label for the chapter, such as `Active` or `Inactive`, rendered according to the request's `X-Api-Language`. This is the response form and differs from the value used when creating or updating a chapter, which is the `active` or `inactive` enum.
    - `updated` string, date-time — Date and time when the chapter was last updated.

## Other responses

- `400` — Request was rejected before the endpoint could process it. Common causes: invalid `Accept` header, unsupported `x-api-language` code, empty request body on `POST` / `PUT`, invalid JSON in the request body, or an invalid slug format in a path parameter.
- `401` — Missing `x-api-key` header.
- `403` — Authenticated request denied. Common causes: invalid or unknown API key, suspended account, or `api` feature not enabled for the account.
- `429` — Rate limit of 60 requests per minute exceeded.
- `503` — Service is temporarily unavailable due to regional maintenance.
