  notes: >-
    The Kimola API authenticates with an API key presented as an HTTP Bearer
    token in the Authorization header (Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>). The API
    key is obtained from the Kimola dashboard Account menu (and the Models page
    for the Cognitive API). Although the Cognitive documentation describes the
    service as a "JSON-based OAuth2 API", no OAuth2 authorization/token flows or
    scopes are documented; access is a static per-account bearer key. Key
    validation is cached server-side for performance.
