note: >-
  No OpenAPI is published by eWAY, so this profile is captured from the Rapid
  API reference documentation rather than derived from a securitySchemes block.

  api_key_in: [header]
  oauth2_flows: []
  primary: HTTP Basic authentication

  - name: RapidBasicAuth
    type: http
    scheme: basic
    description: >-
      All server-to-server calls to the Rapid API authenticate with HTTP Basic
      auth. The eWAY API Key is sent as the username and the matching API
      Password as the password. Credentials are issued per environment (live vs
      sandbox) from MYeWAY.

    type: apiKey
    in: header
    description: >-
      Client-side integrations (Secure Fields, Client Side Encryption, the
      responsive Secure Panel) authenticate with a public API key rather than
      the Basic-auth secret, so the card secret never touches the merchant
      server. Method availability is restricted for public-key auth (see error
      V6144).

notes:
  - eWAY does not document OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, or scoped tokens; there is no scope surface.
  - Sandbox and live use separate API key/password pairs and separate base hosts.
