notes: >-
  The Usersnap REST API is a gated feature (available on specific plans; enable
  under Settings > Rest API in app.usersnap.com). Usersnap generates a shared JWT
  secret plus a JWT ID; the customer self-signs HS256 JWTs (header must include
  "kid": "<JWT ID>"; HS512 is explicitly not supported) and sends them as a
  Bearer token in the Authorization header. The submit and pre-submit endpoints
  (project api_key in path) also accept unauthenticated calls per the OpenAPI
  security declaration ({} alternative).

    description: >-
      The bearer token is a JWT created by you and signed with the JWT secret
      provided in https://app.usersnap.com/#/settings/rest-api. Start with a
      default HS256 JWT and add "kid": "<JWT ID>" to the headers, then sign it
      with the JWT secret and send it as Authorization: Bearer <jwt>.
