note: >-
  DecisionLink now trades as Xfactor.io. There is no developer portal and no published
  authentication guide. The only prose the company publishes about API authentication is in its
  Data Processing Addendum; the machine-readable half was derived from the four FastAPI OpenAPI 3.1
  documents served anonymously at api.xfactor.io and from the Auth0 tenant its own web application
  bundle names as the issuer.
summary:
  types:
  - http
  - oauth2
  - openIdConnect
  - apiKey
  primary: Auth0-issued OAuth 2.0 / OIDC bearer JWT for application access; hashed API keys for
    API-based access issued to contracted customers.
schemes:
- name: HTTPBearer
  type: http
  scheme: bearer
  bearerFormat: JWT
  description: >-
    Access token in the form of a JWT. Declared in every one of the four service specs and applied
    to 146 of 156 operations. Unauthenticated calls return HTTP 401 or 403 with
    {"detail":"Not authenticated"} and a WWW-Authenticate: Bearer challenge.

- name: Auth0 OIDC (web application)
  type: openIdConnect
  openIdConnectUrl: https://xf-prd.us.auth0.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
  description: >-
    The Xfactor.io web application authenticates through a dedicated Auth0 tenant using
    @auth0/auth0-spa-js and @auth0/auth0-react, then presents the resulting JWT as the bearer token
    on api.xfactor.io. The token audience observed in the shipped application bundle is the API
    host itself (https://api.<env>.xfactor.io/), so the API is registered as an Auth0 API resource
    server.

  note: >-
    These are the standard OIDC scopes the Auth0 tenant advertises, not product scopes. No
    Xfactor.io permission or scope reference is published, so scopes/ is not emitted.
- name: API keys (API-based access)
  type: apiKey
  description: >-
    "Authentication and authorization for API based access is performed through the use of API
    keys. XFactor uses one-way hash functions (SHA256) and only stores the hashed version of those
    keys." Quoted verbatim from the Data Processing Addendum. Key issuance, header name, rotation
    and expiry are not published anywhere public; they are available to contracted customers only.

note_environments: >-
  Non-production hosts are named in the public application bundle at app.xfactor.io. They are the
  company's own internal environments, not a published developer sandbox — no test credentials,
  fixtures, or self-service signup exist, so sandbox/ is not emitted.
