description: Authentication methods for Empower APIs
schemes:
- type: apiKey
  name: API Key
  evidence: The API key is used to protect the Empower API from unauthorized access. When your application makes a request to the API, the API
    key must be supplied as a request header named x-api-key with the value of the API key delivered.
  location: header
  header: x-api-key
  how_to_obtain: Request access through the Empower developer portal; the API key is delivered via secure email after approval.
- type: oauth2
  name: OAuth2 Client Credentials
  evidence: Empower APIs use OAuth as an authorization protocol that enables applications to access information on behalf of the user. Client
    credentials are required per OAuth2 specification to exchange for an access token.
  flows:
  - client_credentials
  how_to_obtain: After receiving the Client ID and Client Secret via secure email, use them with Basic Auth to call the Empower authorization
    token endpoint (provided in the email) with grant_type=client_credentials to obtain a bearer access token.
