  - name: bearerToken
    type: http
    scheme: bearer
    location: header
    header: Authorization
    format: Bearer <API token>
    context: hosted
    notes: >-
      The hosted Modular inference API (base https://api.modular.com/v1) requires a
      Bearer API token issued from the Modular Console; api.modular.com/v1/models
      returns HTTP 401 without one. API tokens are provisioned and billed per Organization.
  - name: localNoAuth
    type: http
    scheme: bearer
    location: header
    context: self-hosted
    notes: >-
      Self-hosted `max serve` accepts the OpenAI api_key parameter for client
      compatibility but does not validate it (docs use api_key='EMPTY').
