note: >-
  Consolidated to the provider-level auth profile. The mechanical derive pass emitted the same
  two schemes once per tag-split spec file (49 copies each); the API declares exactly two, and
  they are identical across every operation. Upgraded to `searched` with detail the spec does
  not carry: the 90-day inactivity expiry on API keys, the MAX enterprise headers, and the fact
  that an auth failure returns HTTP 403 with error code 1014 rather than 401 — the spec declares
  401 on all 220 operations, so the contract and the error reference disagree. An agent that
  branches only on 401 will misclassify every GetResponse auth failure.
summary:
  types: [apiKey, oauth2]
  api_key_in: [header]
  oauth2_flows: [implicit, authorizationCode, clientCredentials, refreshToken]
  primary: apiKey
  scope_model: single-scope
schemes:
  - name: api-key
    type: apiKey
    in: header
    parameter: X-Auth-Token
    value_format: 'api-key <YOUR_API_KEY>'
    description: >-
      The primary method, and the one GetResponse says "should be used in most cases". The
      header value must be prefixed with the literal string "api-key " — a bare key fails.
    key_source: https://app.getresponse.com/api
    expiry: >-
      Unused API keys expire after 90 days of inactivity and must be regenerated. There is no
      warning signal on the API surface; the key simply starts returning error code 1014.

  - name: oauth2
    type: oauth2
    description: >-
      Secondary method, sent as `Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>`. One scope only ("all"),
      so a delegated token cannot be narrowed — see scopes/getresponse-scopes.yml.

  divergence: true
  note: >-
    The error reference at /v3/errors gives code 1014 an HTTP 403; the OpenAPI declares 401 on
    every operation. Handle both.
gaps:
  - No OIDC discovery document (/.well-known/openid-configuration 404s on every host).
  - No RFC 8414 authorization-server metadata (/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server 404s).
  - No PKCE; the deprecated implicit flow is still offered.
  - Single "all" scope — no least-privilege token for agents.
