  APIDynamics publishes no OpenAPI, so this profile could not be derived mechanically.
  It is assembled from two sources, kept separate below: (a) what APIDynamics states on
  its own product pages, and (b) header and endpoint names observed in a public
  third-party integration demo that is configured against the APIDynamics developer host.
  Nothing here is invented; every scheme carries its evidence and its confidence.

  description: >-
    The API provider's public key, sent by the protected service on every call it makes to
    the APIDynamics adaptive-authentication service. Identifies the tenant.

- name: X-API-Dynamics-Client-Id
  type: apiKey
  in: header
  description: >-
    The calling API client's public key, forwarded from the inbound request so APIDynamics
    can score and validate that specific client.

- name: TOTP step-up
  type: totp

    Time-based one-time password issued and validated by APIDynamics as the step-up factor
    for API-to-API multi-factor authentication.

    quote: 'Step-up MFA via TOTP, token headers, or HMAC-based authentication'
- name: HMAC API-to-API
  type: hmac
  description: >-
    HMAC request signing for service-to-service authentication, offered as an alternative
    to header-token enforcement.
  confidence: high

    kind: provider-docs

- name: OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect
  type: oauth2
  description: >-
    APIDynamics markets an OAuth 2.0 / OIDC authentication surface for the APIs it protects.
    No authorization or token endpoint, and no scope list, is published anywhere public —
    so no flow could be recorded and scopes/ was deliberately not written.

  note: >-
    OWNERSHIP AND PROVENANCE. These endpoints were NOT harvested from an APIDynamics-published
    contract — no such contract exists publicly. They were read out of a public Spring Boot
    integration demo (gitguru/adaptive-auth-java-server, package com.apidynamics.test) whose
    application.properties is configured against the APIDynamics developer host that
    APIDynamics itself links from https://www.apidynamics.com/developers and /platform.
    They are recorded as OBSERVED, not as a specification, and no OpenAPI was authored from
    them. The base host does not currently resolve, so none of them could be probed live.
