  note: Corrected from onboarding "self-serve" on 2026-08-13. Basis's own API documentation states the opposite — "The Basis
    API is available to Centro customers and integration partners, and all organizations must acquire valid credentials prior
    to using the web services. Contact your Centro representative to obtain valid credentials." Redirect-URI registration
    and owner/agency-ID assignment are also handled by a Basis representative. https://platform.basis.net/auth/login is a
    sign-in for existing customers, not a developer sign-up.
