## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user wants to discover app or software business ideas that leverage their existing professional expertise or job title. It is ideal for career-to-product ideation, side-project discovery, and entrepreneurship planning. Prefer this over general startup-idea generators when the user has a specific profession to anchor the suggestions.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'profession' parameter returns an error
- Overly vague or unrecognized profession strings may return generic or low-quality ideas
- Empty ideas array if no ideas are mapped for the given profession
- Network or payment failures return 402 or 5xx status codes
- Limit parameter ignored or capped server-side if value is out of range
