  description: >-
    Harmony SASE (Perimeter 81) uses two-step secure tokens. A long-lived API key is
    generated in the Web Management Console (Settings -> API Support -> Generate New Key)
    with a chosen expiration date and a set of selected key permissions (e.g. 'View list
    of users', 'Add new members', 'Delete groups'). The API key is then exchanged for a
    short-lived JWT access token that is sent as an HTTP bearer token on every request.
  steps:
  - step: 1
    action: Generate an API key in the Web Management Console (Settings -> API Support).
    note: Requires Premium Plus or Enterprise plan; key carries selected permissions and an expiration date.
  - step: 2
    action: 'POST /v1/auth/authorize with body {grantType: "api_key", apiKey: <API_KEY>} to obtain an access token.'
    endpoint: POST https://api.perimeter81.com/api/v1/auth/authorize
    docs: https://support.perimeter81.com/docs/access-token-post
  - step: 3
    action: "Send the access token as 'Authorization: Bearer <access_token>' on all API calls."
    note: Access token expires 60 minutes after issue; regenerate via the authorize endpoint.
permissions_model: >-
  Key-scoped permissions are chosen at API-key generation time in the console (not OAuth2 scopes).
  No oauth2 securityScheme is declared in the OpenAPI, so no scopes/ artifact is emitted.
