    Invoca's self-serve API access is token-based and OAuth-compliant, but does
    NOT use OAuth refresh tokens and exposes no OAuth scope surface. Tokens are
    minted per-credential in the platform UI (Integrations > Manage Integrations
    > Invoca APIs > + New API Credential). HTTP(S) Basic Authentication (username
    + password) is also accepted, and session-login auth is available for browser
    testing only.

    Recommended. Send the self-serve Invoca API token in the Authorization
    request header. Tokens are long-lived (no refresh token) and must be treated
    like passwords; never commit to source control.
