  oauth2_flows: []
  notes: >-
    Key-auth only. There is no OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect surface on either published
    contract, so there is no scope model to capture (scopes/ is intentionally absent).
    Keys are issued by ClimateAi sales/account management rather than self-service.
schemes:
- name: apikey
  type: apiKey
  in: header
  parameter: X-Api-Key
  description: >-
    Primary developer credential for the LensConnect Weather API. Every request must
    carry the key in the X-Api-Key header. Keys are provisioned by ClimateAi (request
    one from sales@climate.ai); entitlements such as 1 km downscaling are bound to the
    key at the account level, so the same call returns different resolution depending
    on how the key is provisioned.
  provisioning: sales@climate.ai / ClimateAi account manager
  self_service: false

- name: jwt
  type: apiKey
  in: header
  parameter: Authorization
  description: >-
    Bearer/JWT credential used by the ClimateAI Platform gateway (default security for
    the platform contract). Obtained through the platform auth operations; used for
    account, user, role, permission and routing operations rather than weather data.
