    description: >-
      BlackLine REST APIs authenticate with OAuth 2.0 client credentials. An
      application is registered in the BlackLine admin to obtain a Client ID and
      Client Secret, which are exchanged at the token endpoint for a Bearer
      access token presented in the Authorization header on each API call.
    sources: [docs]
notes: >-
  Derived from BlackLine developer portal documentation (no public OpenAPI
  available to derive securitySchemes from). Token host may be region-specific
  in some deployments (SAP Core / STS middleware exchanges an API key for an
  OAuth Bearer token).
