  BigchainDB Server HTTP API reference and transaction-model documentation.
  Derived-then-confirmed: the OpenAPI transcription declares no HTTP
  securitySchemes because the BigchainDB HTTP API has no transport-layer auth by
  default — authorization is enforced cryptographically at the payload level.
docs: https://docs.bigchaindb.com/projects/server/en/latest/http-client-server-api.html
summary:
  types: [none, payload-signature]
  api_key_in: []
  oauth2_flows: []
model:
  transport_auth: none-by-default
  payload_auth: crypto-conditions (Ed25519 signatures)
  notes: >-
    The core BigchainDB HTTP API accepts unauthenticated reads and writes; a write
    is only valid if the transaction is correctly signed with the owners' Ed25519
    keys via crypto-conditions, and outputs can only be spent by fulfilling their
    conditions. Hosted networks may add app_id / app_key headers at the gateway
    (deployment-specific), but that is not part of the core API contract.
