info:
  title: DreamFactory System Admin Lookup API
  description: The DreamFactory System API provides administrative management capabilities for DreamFactory instances. It allows administrators to manage services, apps, roles, users, CORS configurations, email templates, environment settings, lookups, events, scripts, and more. All system resources are accessible under the /api/v2/system/ base path. Authentication requires either an X-DreamFactory-Session-Token header (for system admins) or an X-DreamFactory-API-Key header (for users with appropriate permissions).
