description: >-
  Authentication profile for the BPA public API surface. There is no credential to
  obtain: BPA's published ArcGIS Online layers are shared publicly and answer
  anonymous GET requests with HTTP 200, and the transmission.bpa.gov operational
  data files are static public downloads. No sign-up, no API key, no OAuth.

      Returned a full FeatureSet with no credential. The service /info document
      reports authInfo.isTokenBasedSecurity true and a tokenServicesUrl at
      www.arcgis.com, which is the Esri platform's token service for PRIVATE items
      in the tenant; the BPA layers registered in this repo are shared publicly and
      do not require it.
  optional_credential:
    type: arcgis-token
    header: X-Esri-Authorization
    query_param: token
    token_service: https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/generateToken
    applies_to: private items in the BPA ArcGIS Online tenant, not the public layers here
    note: >-
      Platform-level Esri mechanism, not a BPA-issued credential. Recorded because the
      service /info document advertises it; no BPA public layer in this repo needs it.

    note: >-
      DNS resolves (174.141.249.8 / 216.234.82.8) but the connection times out from a
      general-purpose client. OATI OASIS nodes are registered-participant surfaces;
      credentials are issued by OATI to transmission customers, not published by BPA.
      Not probed further and NOT registered as a callable API in this record.
notes:
- No API key, OAuth client, or account registration exists for any BPA public data surface.
- >-
  Because there is no credential to rotate, scope, or leak, the OAuthScopes and Sandbox
  artifacts are not applicable for this provider and are deliberately absent.
