      The Cratejoy Merchant API uses HTTP Basic authentication. You Base64-encode
      your API credentials as `client_id:client_secret` and pass them in the
      Authorization header (Authorization: Basic {base64(client_id:client_secret)}).
    credentials:
      - Client ID
      - Client Secret Key

      Admin users generate API keys from the merchant dashboard under Settings > API.
      Non-admin roles (Customer Support, Developers) cannot access this panel and must
      request key generation from a store administrator.
    applies_to: Merchant API (https://api.cratejoy.com/v1/)

notes: >-
  The Store API is a separate surface that reads (and sometimes writes) data on behalf
  of the logged-in customer from front-end JavaScript, rather than using Basic API
  credentials. No OAuth2/OIDC surface is documented.
