    Flickr uses OAuth 1.0a (HMAC-SHA1). The OpenAPI 3 schema cannot model
    OAuth 1.0a directly, so this entry approximates the flow. Token URLs:
    - Request token: https://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/request_token
    - Authorize:     https://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/authorize
    - Access token:  https://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/access_token
