- name: Oosto OnWatch API
  description: 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.

- name: Oosto OnAccess API
  description: Per-deployment REST API for Oosto OnAccess, the facial access-control product (internal codename "Abraxas"),
    served from the customer's own OnAccess server under the /abx/api base path. Authentication is username/password exchanged
    for a bearer JWT at POST /abx/api/login. The enrolment flow published in the vendor's sample code posts an image as multipart/form-data
    to POST /abx/api/external-functions/extract-faces-from-image to extract face feature vectors, then creates the person
    record with POST /abx/api/members, carrying the extracted image features plus identity fields (name, email, phone, description),
    access-card credentials (card id + facility code) and member-group membership by UUID. As with OnWatch there is no vendor-hosted
    base URL — the API ships with the customer's installation. Reference documentation is behind an OTP login at knowledge.oosto.com;
    operations recorded here come from the vendor's public sample code.
