Helmerich And Payne Authentication

  openapi/helmerich-and-payne-magvar-survey-validation.json (harvested from
  https://fac-api.magvar.com/v2/api-docs) plus a live unauthenticated call to
  https://fac-api.magvar.com/uncertaintyValues on 2026-09-13.
summary: >-
  There is no authentication. The MagVAR Survey Validation API declares no `securityDefinitions`
  and no `security` block anywhere in its Swagger 2.0 contract, and a fully anonymous GET with the
  spec's own default parameter values returned HTTP 200 with a complete result body. This is not an
  undocumented-auth gap — it is an open, keyless, read-only public endpoint.

    Returned a real computed result (sigmaValidation.distance 0.9495, three Green validation
    results, inclination/azimuth uncertainties). No API key, header, cookie or token was sent.
license_gate:
  documented: true
  url: https://www.magvar.com/EULA_SurveyValidationAPI.html
  status: 200
  note: >-
    Access is technically open but legally licensed. The Survey Validation API EULA grants a
    non-exclusive one-year single-user single-computer licence and explicitly contemplates both
    paid and free licences; it prohibits redistribution, sublicensing and derivative works. There
    is no technical enforcement point on the endpoint — the licence is the only gate. An agent
    calling this API is inside a EULA it was never asked to accept, which is the honest risk to
    record here.
account_surfaces:
  - name: MagVAR / H&P customer login
    url: https://www.hpinc.com/customer-login
    status: 200
    note: >-
      The customer login fronts Saphira (saphira.magvar.com) and the MagVAR account area. It is NOT
      the gate for the Survey Validation API, which is anonymous.

    status: 200
    note: Springfox Swagger UI 2.9.2; the only published API reference. It documents no auth step.
gaps:
  - No securitySchemes / securityDefinitions in the contract.
  - No rate limiting, quota, or attribution mechanism is visible on an anonymous call, so the
    provider has no way to tie usage to the EULA it publishes.
  - No OAuth, OIDC or key-issuance surface exists on any H&P or MagVAR host (see
    well-known/helmerich-and-payne-well-known.yml — all discovery paths 404).
