    applications can obtain access on a user's behalf. Register an OAuth2
    application under the user or organization settings.

- name: BasicAuth
  type: basic
  description: HTTP Basic authentication with username and password. When two-factor
    authentication is enabled it must be combined with a one-time password sent in
    the `X-FORGEJO-OTP` header.
  sources:
  - https://codeberg.org/swagger.v1.json
notes: >-
  Token auth (Authorization header, prefixed with "token") is the recommended
  method for API access. Public repository reads are largely available
  unauthenticated. The Sudo header/param and admin-only schemes documented in the
  Forgejo Swagger are omitted here as they require instance-admin privileges not
  available to general Codeberg users.
