SA Power Networks operates no API and therefore has no API authentication model.
Both auth surfaces below are human browser logins in front of web applications:
an AWS Cognito user pool for the DAPR network-visualisation map viewer, and a
Salesforce Experience Cloud identity provider for the "Your Meter Data" portal
used by Authorised Representatives. There is no client-credentials flow, no API
key issuance, no documented token acquisition path for a machine consumer, and
no published scope model of SA Power Networks' own design.

community host — not an SA Power Networks API, not documented by SA Power
