  oauth2_flows: []
  notes: >-
    HTX does not publish an OpenAPI document, so this profile is captured from the
    developer documentation rather than derived from a spec. Authentication is a
    per-request HMAC-SHA256 signature (Signature Version 2), not a bearer token or
    OAuth.
schemes:
- name: htx-hmac-signature
  type: apiKey
  scheme: hmac-sha256
  signature_version: '2'
  in: query
  parameters:
    - AccessKeyId          # API key created in Profile > API Management
    - SignatureMethod      # HmacSHA256
    - SignatureVersion     # 2
    - Timestamp            # UTC, format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss
    - Signature            # Base64(HMAC-SHA256(secret, canonical request))
  signing: >-
    Signed string is: HTTP method (GET/POST) + '\n' + host + '\n' + path + '\n' +
    ASCII-sorted, URL-encoded query parameters. The HMAC-SHA256 digest is signed
    with the API secret key and Base64-encoded into the Signature parameter.

permissions:
  model: per-key
  scopes: [read-only, trade, withdraw]
  notes: >-
    API keys carry granular permissions selected at creation time (read-only,
    trade). Withdrawal permission is disabled by default and IP allow-listing is
    supported. This is a key-permission model, not an OAuth scope surface.
