  - name: webmasterId
    type: apiKey
    in: query
    parameter: webmasterId
    surface: QuoteMedia OnDemand (QMOD) REST API
    description: >-
      Every QMOD request requires a sales-provisioned Webmaster ID passed as a
      query parameter, with data entitlements bound to that ID. Verified live:
      requests without it return faultcode 0002 ("Webmaster ID is required"),
      and an unentitled ID returns faultcode 403 FORBIDDEN.
  - name: sid-session
    type: session
    surface: QMOD widgets / OnDemand sessions
    description: >-
      QMod embeddable components authenticate via the loader with access managed
      by "domain, referrer, IP, or token-based controls" (per the public QMod
      support article); a session identifier is negotiated by the loader rather
      than embedded API keys.
  - name: streamer-credentials
    type: credentials
    surface: Streaming Data Feed API (WebSocket / Java / .NET clients)
    description: >-
      The first-party streamer SDKs (npm @quotemedia.com/streamer, Maven
      streamerclient-java-core, NuGet QuotemediaStreamerClient) connect with
      sales-provisioned credentials; no self-service key issuance exists.

notes: >-
  No OAuth2/OIDC surface is published (no /.well-known/openid-configuration or
  oauth-authorization-server on any host). Full authentication reference is
  behind the entitlement-gated Freshdesk knowledge base; Quotestream Connect for
  Developers is the self-service onboarding path for non-professional use.
