Docs, a getting started guide with examples, API reference ... that's it really.

Do you often build directly on top of the “raw” (JSON+HTTP) API, or look for and use a library?

If there's a library available for my target programming language, then yeah I'd probably use that library rather than going "low level" (REST/HTTP/JSON).
