# No OpenAPI/OAS is published for the Wacai open platform, so this profile is
# reconstructed from the official SDK protocol docs (doc/api_auth.md, api_sign.md,
# api_entry.md). The gateway uses appKey/appSecret HMAC request signing, NOT OAuth2.

    description: >
      Callers authenticate with an appKey/appSecret pair issued by the Wacai open
      platform. Each request to the gateway (POST https://open.wacai.com/gw/api_entry)
      is signed: signPlainText = apiName + "|" + apiVersion + "|" + headerString + "|" + bodyMd5,
      where headerString is the alphabetically-sorted, ampersand-joined set of signed
      headers (x-wac-timestamp, x-wac-access-token or x-wac-app-key, x-wac-version).
      Higher SDK versions drop the token and connect the appKey directly to the gateway.
  - name: tokenService
    type: apiKey
    in: header
    note: Older SDK versions obtain an access token via the token service (wacai-token-sdk) before calls.
