I was a bit stumped because there wasn't a single example of how to actually use the StackExchange JS API. As it turns out, you actually don't really use it.
This SE.init() call may or may not get you higher quotas, and it allows your users to authenticate. If you don't need those, you can use the REST API without any libraries as shown in getQuestions();
