summary:
  types: [oauth2, none]
  oauth2_flows: [authorizationCode]
  notes: >-
    Looking Glass exposes two developer APIs with distinct auth models. The
    hosted Blocks GraphQL API authenticates via Auth0 (OAuth 2.0 / OIDC,
    redirect-based authorization-code login using a per-app Client ID). The
    local Bridge HTTP REST API is served by the Looking Glass Bridge desktop
    runtime on localhost and requires no network credential (loopback-only).
schemes:
  - name: Auth0 (Blocks API)
    type: oauth2
    flow: authorizationCode
    provider: Auth0
    applies_to: Blocks GraphQL API (https://blocks.glass/api/graphql)
    detail: >-
      "Blocks uses Auth0 under the hood for authentication." Developers request
      a Client ID via form; blocks.js runs the OAuth redirect login and attaches
      the resulting bearer token to GraphQL requests.

  - name: None (Bridge local REST)
    type: none
    applies_to: Bridge HTTP REST API (localhost media-player control)
    detail: >-
      The Bridge REST API is exposed by the locally-installed Looking Glass
      Bridge runtime over loopback; it controls the local media player and
      carries no authentication.
