description: Civo provides API key authentication for its main API and CLI, and S3-style credentials for object store access.
schemes:
- type: apiKey
  name: API Key
  evidence: To authenticate the account for the API or tools that use it such as the Civo command-line interface, you will need to provide an
    API key that is unique to your account.
  header: Authorization
  location: header
  how_to_obtain: In order to acquire the API key for an account, navigate to the Profile/Security section of your Civo account.
- type: other
  name: S3 Credentials
  evidence: To access object store contents through the S3 API, you will need to create a credential that can be associated with the store.
  how_to_obtain: 'On the credentials management page, you can drop down on the credential of your choosing to list its details: This detail page
    shows two pieces of information for the credential: The Access Key ID, The hidden secret key'
docs: https://www.civo.com/docs/account/api-keys, https://www.civo.com/docs/object-stores/object-store-credentials
note: The API key documentation doesn't explicitly state the header name or location, but based on common API patterns and the evidence stating
  it's used to "authenticate you for tools that interact with the Civo API", it's reasonable to infer it goes in the Authorization header. The
  S3 credentials are for accessing object stores via S3 API.
