notes: >-
  Remote supports several auth methods by use case. Partners: OAuth 2.0 Client
  Credentials (act as themselves), OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code (act on behalf
  of a consenting customer, storing the refresh_token), OAuth 2.0 Assertion
  (jwt-bearer, act on behalf of an employee of an authorized company), Basic
  Auth (CLIENT_ID/CLIENT_SECRET to mint tokens), and Client Token (bearer, for
  marketing endpoints only — no PII). Access tokens are valid for 3600 seconds.
