  openid_connect: false
  mutual_tls: false
  bearer: false
  schemes_required_together: true
credentials:
  issuance: >-
    Keys are issued in the Adapt web app account settings page. There is no key-management
    API and no programmatic key rotation.
  management_url: https://leads.adapt.io/profile/settings
  gated: true
  gate: >-
    API access is available on Adapt's Custom (enterprise) plan only. Free, Starter and
    Basic tiers do not expose Prospect API credentials — an account without API access
    fails with APP-403-002 ("You don't have access to this API"), and an account with no
    subscription fails with APP-403-001.
  rotation_policy: not published
  expiry: not published
  scopes: none — the key carries full account privileges across all four operations
transport:
  https_required: true
  evidence: >-
    "All of Adapt's APIs are organized around REST, and all requests must be made over
    SSL." — https://www.adapt.io/api-docs/v3/
findings:
  - >-
    Both headers must be sent together on every request; either one alone fails with
    APP-401-001. This is unusual — the account identifier travels in a header named
    `email` rather than being encoded in the key itself.
  - >-
    Neither header uses a conventional name (`Authorization`, `X-API-Key`), so generic
    API clients, gateways and agent runtimes will not pick the credentials up from a
    standard auth configuration.
  - >-
    A single credential pair grants every operation including the credit-spending
    purchase call. There is no read-only key, no scoping, and no documented rotation or
    expiry, so a leaked key can drain an account's email and phone credits.
