Enhancements API Evangelist would apply to the provider's own Swagger 2.0 contract fetched
verbatim from https://api.nearspacelabs.net/oauth/openapi/oauth on 2026-08-26. The original is
never mutated. Every value below comes from https://docs.nearspacelabs.com/authentication or from
the contract itself.
x-gaps-addressed:
- No `host` or `basePath` is declared, so the token endpoint cannot be resolved from the contract. The real base is https://api.nearspacelabs.net.
- The operation has no `operationId` and no `tags`.
- POST /oauth/static_key is fully documented on docs.nearspacelabs.com/authentication — request body, response body, one-year TTL, usage as ?api_key= — but is absent from the contract entirely. Half the provider's credential surface is undescribed.
- info.contact carries only `responsibleOrganization`; no contact email or URL, and no license.

x-recommended-but-not-applied:
- >-
Describe POST /oauth/static_key — request {client_id, client_secret}, response {api_key,
expires_in: 31536000, token_type: "Bearer"} — so the one-year credential is machine-readable.
Not applied as an overlay action because Overlay 1.0.0 actions target existing nodes and adding a
whole path is better filed with the provider than patched by a third party. Captured in
authentication/near-space-labs-authentication.yml instead.
- >-
Document a revocation or rotation endpoint for static keys. The docs say "reissue it if it leaks"
but publish no way to invalidate the leaked key, and do not state whether issuing a new key
revokes the old one. For a bearer credential valid for one year and carried in a URL query
string, this is the most consequential omission in the whole surface.
- >-
Serve RFC 8414 authorization-server metadata at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server so the
token endpoint is discoverable without reading prose.
Discovery needs no key. Ratings and market analysis are Pro.
