notes: >-
  NS1 (IBM NS1 Connect) authenticates every REST request with an API key sent in
  the X-NSONE-Key request header. There is no OAuth2/OIDC surface; keys are issued
  from the NS1 portal and can be scoped per team/user with granular permissions.

  types: [apiKey]

    description: >-
      NS1 API key issued from the portal (Account > Users & Teams > API Keys).
      Sent verbatim in the X-NSONE-Key header on every request to
      https://api.nsone.net/v1/. Verified live: an unauthenticated request to
      https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones returns HTTP 401.
