I'm building an app using a free Southeast Asian API (no auth needed).

It returns JSON.

Production caveat: Still handle empty rows, schema changes, pagination, stale coverage, and temporary upstream failures.

Help me fetch this and build a simple page that displays it nicely. Include basic production safeguards for errors, empty responses, schema changes, caching, and rate limits.
