    Gloat has two distinct auth schemes. The Customer APIs (Skills Foundation,
    Company, Authorization, Candidacy) use client-credentials: base64(CLIENT_ID:CLIENT_SECRET)

    as a Bearer token. The Talent Marketplace APIs use a static API key sent in the

    restrictions. All hosts are per-tenant: https://{company_slug}.gloat.com/api.
