  OAuth scope surface for the Yahoo identity service at api.login.yahoo.com. The four scopes
  below are the ones the provider advertises in its own OpenID Connect discovery document; they
  cover sign-in and profile/email claims. Per-API data permissions (for example Fantasy Sports
  read/write) are granted as API Permissions selected when an app is registered at
  developer.yahoo.com/apps/create/, not as discovery-published scope strings, and Yahoo does not
  publish a machine-readable list of those permission identifiers.

not_scope_based:
  - api: Yahoo DSP Traffic API
    reason: >-
      Two-legged client_credentials with a JWT client assertion; access is bounded by the seat and
      user role assigned in the DSP UI, not by OAuth scope strings.
  - api: Yahoo DSP Reporting API
    reason: Same client_credentials model as the Traffic API; no scope parameter is documented.
  - api: Yahoo Ad Tech DataX API
    reason: >-
      Access is provisioned per partner during onboarding via an exchanged RSA public key; no
      scopes are published.
