  notes: >-
    Register an application at developers.artsy.net to obtain a client_id and client_secret,
    then POST them (form-urlencoded or JSON) to /tokens/xapp_token to receive an xapp_token
    with an expires_at. Send the token in the X-Xapp-Token header on subsequent requests.
    This is anonymous application-level access; a separate access_token flow exists for
    user-scoped access.
