⇒ RESTLets are most relevant to Nango, but some very advanced integrations might also require other types of scripts
Good reading for people writing RESTlet
Understand dynamic and standard mode: https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/netsuite/ns-online-help/section_1524156901.html#bridgehead_1524158046

N/Record reference:
Sublist items can also have subObjects nested in them (e.g. addresses in the addressbook sublist).
Example of how to write & edit these: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37262428/how-to-set-an-address-on-customer-using-suitescript-2-0
⇒ Note that these calls required dynamic mode on the object!
When sending data via a restlet the order of the JSON keys is very important! The incorrect ordering can cause an API to fail with an unhelpful response from the Netsuite API, unfortunately.
