  notes: >-
    The Nest Smart Device Management (SDM) API is a Google Cloud API and is
    authorized exclusively with Google OAuth 2.0 (authorization code flow).
    A Device Access project (created in the Device Access Console) plus a
    Google Cloud OAuth 2.0 client ID are required. End users grant access to
    their Nest devices through the Partner Connections Manager consent screen.

    notes: >-
      Authorization uses Google's Partner Connections Manager URL (scoped to the
      Device Access project id) rather than the generic accounts.google.com
      consent screen. Access tokens are Google OAuth bearer tokens presented as
      `Authorization: Bearer <token>` against https://smartdevicemanagement.googleapis.com.
