notes: >-
  CME Group secures its cloud REST and WebSocket APIs (Reference Data API v3,
  FedWatch, Term SOFR, Greeks and Implied Volatility, Cross Currency, DataMine)
  with OAuth 2.0 client-credentials issued against a registered OAuth API ID.
  API IDs are created in the CME Customer Center under My Profile and must be
  entitled per API. The authorization server is PingFederate at
  auth.cmegroup.com and publishes anonymous RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery metadata
  (captured in well-known/). Legacy Basic Auth API IDs can be irreversibly
  converted to OAuth IDs. No public OpenAPI declares these schemes — profile
  captured from the published docs and live metadata.

    entitlements: >-
      Access is entitlement-based per API ID — each API ID must be entitled to
      the specific API (e.g. Reference Data, FedWatch, Term SOFR) via the CME
      Group Market Data API self-service onboarding page or Global Account
      Management. Credentials are environment-specific (New Release vs
      Production) and cannot be used across environments.
