  No OpenAPI is published, so this profile is derived from the public HackerRank for Work API
  documentation and a live probe. GET https://www.hackerrank.com/x/api/v3/tests returns HTTP 401
  Unauthorized without credentials, confirming the API is token-gated. HackerRank for Work issues a
  per-account API key (generated in account settings) that is sent as an HTTP Bearer token.
