description: 'Every Beazley API is fronted by Azure API Management and secured with an APIM subscription
  key. The key travels either in the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key request header or as a subscription-key
  query parameter; both schemes are declared in all fourteen published OpenAPI documents and both are
  accepted at the top level of every operation. There is no OAuth 2.0, no OpenID Connect and no mutual
  TLS anywhere on the public surface: neither /.well-known/openid-configuration nor /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
  is served on any Beazley host.'
obtaining_credentials:
  self_serve_account: true
  signup: https://developer.beazley.com/signup
  signin: https://developer.beazley.com/signin
  self_serve_key: false
  approval_required: true
  note: 'A developer account is self-serve — email and password, no partner SSO — and unlocks the full
    catalog and every OpenAPI download. A usable key is not self-serve: all nine published APIM products
    carry subscriptionRequired=true AND approvalRequired=true, and eight of nine cap subscriptionsLimit
    at 1, so Beazley must approve each subscription before the gateway will answer.'
