  openapi/bureau-of-land-management-gbp-hub-search-openapi.json (no securitySchemes declared),
  live probes of gis.blm.gov/<instance>/rest/info, and the OIDC/OAuth discovery documents saved
  verbatim in well-known/, all 2026-09-05.

note: |
  BLM publishes no API authentication page, and the one machine-readable contract it serves
  (the GBP Hub Search API) declares NO securitySchemes at all — because the public read surface
  genuinely needs no credential. That is the headline for an agent: the entire public geospatial
  surface is anonymous.

  Credentials only appear on the two transactional systems, MLRS and GLO Records, which are
  Salesforce Experience Cloud sites running on BLM's own hosts. Both serve a real OIDC
  discovery document anonymously while every other path answers 401.

      The document declares no components.securitySchemes and no security[]. All 17 operations
      were called anonymously on 2026-09-05 and returned 200. An optional `token` query
      parameter exists on the item operations for reaching private ArcGIS items; it is not
      required for BLM's public catalog.
