Moda Operandi Authentication

generated: '2026-08-25'
method: probed
source: https://search.modaoperandi.com/graphql
note: >-
  Moda Operandi publishes no authentication documentation, because it publishes no developer
  program. This profile is what was OBSERVED against the live GraphQL endpoint, not what the
  provider claims. There is no OpenAPI securityScheme to derive from.

  requires_credentials: false
  evidence: >-
    An unauthenticated POST of the full GraphQL IntrospectionQuery returned HTTP 200 with a
    complete __schema (121 types). An unauthenticated POST of "{ version }" returned
    {"data":{"version":2}}. No Authorization header, cookie or API key was sent.
  in_schema:
    - field: user_token
      type: String
      note: >-
        A Query field that returns a token string. Its purpose is not documented; it appears to
        issue an Algolia/analytics session identifier rather than an authorization credential.
        Not probed for a value.
    - field: usage_stats
      args: [token]
      note: >-
        Takes a required `token` argument, which implies a privileged surface exists behind some
        token scheme. No token issuance, scope or format is documented anywhere public.
- surface: https://api.modaoperandi.com/public
  transport: https
  requires_credentials: unknown
  evidence: >-
    Named as MODA_API_URL in the storefront runtime config. Every anonymously probed path under
    this host returned HTTP 404 with a zero-byte body, including /public itself. No auth challenge
    was ever emitted, so nothing about its auth model could be established.
gaps:
- No published authentication documentation.
- No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect discovery document on any host (see well-known/).
- The token accepted by `usage_stats` has no documented issuance path.
