note: >-
  Aperia publishes no OpenAPI, so this profile is read from the published PDF API reference
  ("Halo Connect API Documentation v0.6", revised 2021-04-16) and corroborated by live probes
  of the Halo Connect API gateway. Only the scheme is recorded; no credential values appear
  in the source document beyond an illustrative Base64 sample.

  description: >-
    HTTP Basic authentication (RFC 7617). The documentation instructs partners to send
    "Authorization: Basic <Base64_encoded_string>", where the token is the Base64 encoding
    of "email:password" — the same Halo Connect portal account credentials used to sign in
    at haloconnect.aperiatech.com. There is no separate API key, no token exchange, and no
    documented rotation or expiry.

credential_provisioning:
  self_service: false
  mechanism: >-
    Halo Connect fleet accounts are created by an Aperia Technologies administrator; users
    are invited by email and set a password. The same account credentials are what the
    Partner API consumes, so API access follows portal provisioning rather than a developer
    signup.

observations:
- observed: '2026-08-06'
  url: https://haloconnect.aperiatech.com/api/partner/v1/vehicles
  http_status: 401
  body: '{"errorType":"UNAUTHORIZED","errorMessage":"Unauthorized"}'
  note: >-
    No WWW-Authenticate challenge header is returned with the 401, so the Basic scheme is
    not advertised at the wire level — it is only documented in the PDF. The same 401 is
    returned for unrouted /api/* paths, so a 401 does not confirm an individual endpoint.
- observed: '2026-08-06'
  url: https://haloconnect.aperiatech.com/api/v1/health
  http_status: 200
  body: '{"status":"UP"}'
  note: The health endpoint is the one documented operation reachable anonymously.
gaps:
- No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect; long-lived user credentials are sent on every request.
- No documented key rotation, expiry, scoping or least-privilege model for partner access.
- No /.well-known/openid-configuration or /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server on any host.
