  description: >-
    All API requests authenticate via HTTP Basic authentication. The Bitsight API
    token is supplied as the username with an empty password (a trailing colon with
    nothing after it in curl's -u parameter). All requests must be made over HTTPS;
    calls over plain HTTP fail. Tokens are generated per user under Settings ->
    Account -> User Preferences -> Generate New Token; company/service tokens can be
    created by admin and VRM admin roles.
