      Tables / core REST API (data.nasdaq.com/api/v3): append your API key as
      the api_key query parameter (e.g. ?api_key=YOURAPIKEY). Keys are issued
      free on registration and found under account settings
      (https://data.nasdaq.com/account/api). Anonymous (keyless) access is
      allowed at heavily reduced rate limits. The Python CLI reads the key
      from the NDL_APIKEY environment variable.

      Streaming API (NCDS Java/Python SDKs): OAuth 2.0 client credentials —
      Nasdaq sales provisions client ID, client secret, token endpoint, and
      Kafka bootstrap servers. The live authorization server metadata
      (RFC 8414, Okta) is captured in
      well-known/nasdaq-data-link-oauth-authorization-server.json and
      advertises the datalink scope. data.nasdaq.com also publishes RFC 9728
      protected-resource metadata pointing at this authorization server.
