  and its Swagger documentation are not readable without credentials.

  name: Ferguson Enterprise APIs
  description: A curated set of REST/JSON Enterprise APIs that let approved partners and software providers transact with
    Ferguson — product availability and vendor cost data, and electronic purchase-order submission through partner integrations.
    Delivered on Google Apigee and secured with OAuth 2.0 (client-credentials, authorization-code and ROPC grants documented;
    bearer tokens per RFC 6750). No baseURL is recorded because Ferguson publishes no API host outside the approval-gated
    developer portal, and no OpenAPI, Postman collection or other machine-readable contract is served on any public Ferguson
    host (probed 2026-09-09).

  detail: Ferguson's API catalog and its Swagger documentation live inside a Backstage developer portal whose backend answers
    HTTP 401 "Missing credentials" to every anonymous request (/api/catalog/entities, /api/search/query), and Ferguson grants
    portal access only to organizations that complete its partner review and approval process via api.team@ferguson.com.
