## Evaluation Prompt

# Task
Using https://merge.dev/docs, complete the following task:

Using the Merge Python SDK, build me a script that demonstrates the unified API:

1. Install the official Merge Python SDK (pip install)
2. Use the SDK to list available connectors or integrations
3. Pick one connector category (e.g., accounting, CRM, or HRIS) and list available connections
4. If a connection exists, fetch a sample resource (e.g., list invoices, contacts, or employees)
5. Print all output as JSON, clearly labeled for each step

You MUST use the official Merge Python SDK — do not make raw HTTP/REST calls. 

## Execution
After creating the script, run it to verify it works:
```bash
cd /home/daytona/app && python <your_script>.py
```

The script should print output to stdout. If there are errors, debug and fix them until it runs successfully.
