notes: >-
  PackageX uses API-key authentication passed in a request header. Keys are
  generated in the PackageX Dashboard, separately for the Sandbox and Production
  environments; an "owner" or "developer" account role is required to create
  them. Keys are shown only once and cannot be recovered if lost. All requests
  must be made over HTTPS; plain HTTP and unauthenticated requests fail. API
  keys can be scoped to restrict access to only the APIs they need.
