notes: >-
  LiveAction exposes a product-embedded REST API surface rather than a public,
  hosted developer API. The LiveWire / Omnipeek "Capture Engine REST-API" is
  authenticated with API tokens that are created and managed inside Omnipeek;
  once issued, the token is presented on REST-API calls. LiveNX likewise exposes
  a REST API for automation against a customer-operated appliance. No public
  OpenAPI/Swagger specification is published (API reference is served from the
  in-product admin/user menu), so this profile is captured from the docs rather
  than derived from a spec. There is no fixed public base URL — each API runs on
  the customer's own LiveWire/LiveNX/Omnipeek deployment.
