docs_notes:
- All API requests require an API key. Pass it via the X-API-Key header. Keys are
  scoped to your account and inherit your user-level rate limits.
- Generate API keys from your account settings . Keys are shown once at creation,
  store them securely. Never embed keys in client-side code.

note: Spec types HMACSignature as http/bearer, but its description says the signature
  travels in X-Mod-Message and X-Mod-Signature headers (HMAC-SHA256, 5-minute timestamp
  window); used only by POST /api/mod/download (modDownload). GET /api/schematics/changes
  is documented in the spec as public (no API key).
