Encurate Authentication

- live probe https://keto-diet.p.rapidapi.com/ -> HTTP 401 {"message":"Invalid API key..."}
- live probe https://encurate.app/meta/keto/ -> HTTP 401 {"detail":"Authentication credentials were not provided."}
docs: https://docs.rapidapi.com/docs/keys
note: Encurate publishes no authentication documentation of its own. All five dataset APIs are consumed through
  the RapidAPI marketplace proxy, so the auth contract is RapidAPI's standard two-header API-key scheme. The origin
  behind the proxy, https://encurate.app/meta/<project>/, is a Django REST Framework service that returns 401 with
  a DRF-shaped body to anonymous callers; it is not documented for direct public use.

gaps:
- No first-party authentication page on encurate.app.
- No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect surface on any host.
- No scopes or permissions model published — the key is all-or-nothing per subscription.
- No key-rotation, expiry or revocation policy published.
