  description: >-
    Bearer-token authentication. The API key is issued by Sunlight support and
    passed as a Bearer token in the Authorization header, e.g.
    "Authorization: Bearer <api_key>". Keys are long-lived secrets and carry
    account privileges; the docs warn not to expose them in client-side code or
    public repositories.

notes: >-
  Sunlight uses a single opaque Bearer API key per account (no OAuth2, no OIDC,
  no per-scope tokens). There is no self-service key issuance documented — keys
  are provisioned by Sunlight support ("Sign Up for a Developer Key"). Because
  the model is a single bearer secret, there is no OAuth scopes artifact.
