What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3.11 or higher; packages in `environment.yml` (requests, aiohttp, python-dotenv, pytest, rapidapi-connect).

Where is patent data stored?

In a SQLite database at the path specified by the `DB_PATH` environment variable (defaults to `./patents.db`).

What credentials does it need?

It reads `RAPIDAPI_KEY` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
