  note: >-
    The AppDirect marketplace REST and GraphQL APIs use OAuth 2.0 (OAuth 1.0 was
    deprecated 2020-12-01). Token endpoints are marketplace-scoped:
    https://{marketplaceURL}/oauth2/token and /oauth2/authorize. Grant type
    determines access level (user vs system); scopes correspond to AppDirect roles.
