  note: >-
    Skilljar exposes two authentication surfaces. The v1 REST API authenticates
    with an Organization API key sent via HTTP Basic (API key as the username,
    empty password). A newer v2 OAuth 2.0 surface (advertised via RFC 8414
    Authorization Server Metadata at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server)
    supports authorization_code + refresh_token with PKCE (S256), dynamic client
    registration, and ~89 granular scopes.
