notes: >-
  Authentication is required for most, but not all, endpoints. It is done by
  setting the `Authorization` request header to the API key value directly
  (no `Bearer ` prefix), e.g. `Authorization: eyJ...`. API keys are created
  and managed in the DNSFilter dashboard under Account Settings, and via the
  Api Keys API (V1_Api_Keys-create / -index / -revoke). Keys carry a name,
  expiry, last_four, and status. No OAuth2 or OpenID Connect is offered; there
  is no scope surface.
