Oosto OnWatch API

Per-deployment REST API and Socket.IO event stream for Oosto OnWatch, the real-time watchlist alerting and person-of-interest monitoring product. Served from the customer's own OnWatch server under the /bt/api base path (the product's internal codename is "Better Tomorrow"). Authentication is username/password exchanged for a bearer JWT at POST /bt/api/login, with an end-user licence acknowledgement step at POST /bt/api/eula. Administrative resources such as roles are read over REST with offset/limit/sortOrder paging, and detection events are consumed by connecting a Socket.IO client to the /bt/api/socket.io path with the token supplied as a query parameter, receiving track:created events as subjects are matched. There is no vendor-hosted multi-tenant base URL — every deployment resolves to the customer's own server IP or DNS name, so no public baseURL is recorded here. The reference documentation is behind an OTP login at knowledge.oosto.com; the operations recorded in this profile are taken from the vendor's own public sample code on GitHub.
