Manitoba Hydro Authentication

  live anonymous HTTPS probes of every apis.yml surface on 2026-07-27, plus
  review.yml authModel section

docs_note: >-
  Manitoba Hydro publishes no developer authentication documentation of any
  kind. There is no developer portal, no key issuance page, and no token
  endpoint. This profile was established by probing, not by reading a doc.

model: >-
  Anonymous by default on every published surface. Every Manitoba Hydro API
  surface catalogued in apis.yml answered an unauthenticated request with no
  key, token, referer allow-list entry, or registration. There is nothing to
  obtain and nothing to rotate. The absence of authentication here is not a
  security posture decision about an API programme — it is the by-product of a
  GIS team sharing ArcGIS Online items publicly and a hydrology team publishing
  static JSON behind a public web application.

    note: >-
      Anonymous, but an F5 web application firewall on www.hydro.mb.ca
      intermittently answers HTTP 200 with a "Request Rejected" HTML body when
      the request does not look like a browser. Sending a browser User-Agent and
      a Referer of https://www.hydro.mb.ca/hydrologicalData/static/ gets through
      reliably. This is a bot-mitigation filter, not authentication.

  note: >-
    The only place a Manitoba Hydro customer's own usage or billing data lives is
    behind an interactive login at account.hydro.mb.ca. There is no OAuth
    authorization server, no consent screen, no delegated-access programme, and
    no accredited-recipient regime — Manitoba has no consumer energy data
    mandate and Manitoba Hydro has no advanced metering infrastructure producing
    interval data in the first place. The portal's vendor backend is visible at
    https://account.hydro.mb.ca/API/ ("SCM Service API", HTTP 200) but lists no
    operations and its help page returns HTTP 403; it is a first-party SaaS
    backend, not a third-party API.
agent_guidance: >-
  An agent can call every surface in this repo directly over HTTPS with no
  credential handling at all. Send a realistic User-Agent, and for
  www.hydro.mb.ca also send a Referer matching the hydrological application, or
  the WAF will return an HTTP 200 "Request Rejected" page that is not JSON. Do
  not attempt to reach consumer usage data — no API path to it exists.
