  DevCycle exposes two API surfaces with distinct auth models. The Management API
  (api.devcycle.com) uses OAuth2 client_credentials against the Auth0 tenant
  (auth.devcycle.com) with an audience of https://api.devcycle.com/; an enterprise
  refresh_token grant is offered for organizations with strict RBAC. The Bucketing
  API (bucketing-api.devcycle.com) authenticates with a DevCycle server SDK key
  passed as a bearer token in the Authorization header. No OAuth scopes are
  documented - access is audience-based, not scope-based.
