  note: >-
    No OpenAPI is published, so this profile is captured from the VOP documentation rather
    than derived from a spec. VOP uses an app-key + secret credential model with per-request
    signing (a sign parameter), typical of Chinese e-commerce open platforms.
schemes:
  - name: AppKeySecret
    type: apiKey
    in: query
    credential: app_key (public) + secret (private)
    description: >-
      Each developer application is issued an APPKEY (app_key) and SECRET after developer
      authentication. The app_key identifies the caller; the secret is used to compute the
      per-request signature and is never transmitted.
  - name: RequestSignature
    type: signature
    parameter: sign
    description: >-
      Every request carries a computed signature (sign) over the request parameters using the
      app secret. VOP provides a Signature Verification Tool to validate signatures during
      integration. Vendor authorization binds an app to the vendor accounts whose data it may access.

notes: >-
  Exact signature hash algorithm and full system-parameter list are documented in the VOP
  Development Specifications (login-gated); not fabricated here. This is a signature-auth
  (not OAuth) provider, so scopes/ is intentionally omitted.
