  description: 'All Swapcard GraphQL queries require a valid access token passed in
    the Authorization header. Swapcard''s documented examples send the raw token
    value with no Bearer prefix (Authorization: ACCESS_TOKEN). Leads API tokens are
    created in the Exhibitor Center under Leads then API keys; Content (Event Admin)
    API access is provisioned to organizers. Tokens are secret - treat them like a
    password and never expose them in client-side code.'

  Confirmed via live probe on 2026-07-12: an unauthenticated POST to
  https://developer.swapcard.com/event-admin/graphql returns
  {"errors":[{"message":"You are not authorized","extensions":{"code":"UNAUTHORIZED"}}]},
  confirming token-gated access. The Content API and the Exhibitor Leads API use
  separate endpoints and separate tokens.
