note: >-
  Derived by hand from the provider's own help-center reference, not from an OpenAPI —
  WebinarJam publishes no machine-readable specification. Every field below is stated in
  the WebinarJam / EverWebinar developer articles.

  api_key_in: [body]
  oauth2_flows: []
  approval_required: true
  transport_security: TLS required

    description: >-
      A single account-wide 64-character API key, transmitted as a form field named
      "api_key" in the body of every POST request. The key is identical for WebinarJam
      and EverWebinar and does not change per webinar.

onboarding:
  model: request-approval
  steps:
    - Hold a paid WebinarJam or EverWebinar subscription; trial accounts must upgrade first.
    - Open Profile > API in the account dashboard and complete the API application form
      (app URL, intended use, whether the app subscribes users, supporting notes).
    - Wait for review — the provider states requests are typically processed within two
      business days.
    - Retrieve the issued key from the Webinars dashboard under Advanced > API custom integration.

  scope: >-
    One set of API credentials is generated per account and grants access to BOTH the
    WebinarJam and the EverWebinar API.
key_management:
  rotation: >-
    The key can be regenerated from the account profile; the provider documents regeneration
    as an explicit self-service action.
  granularity: account-wide (no per-webinar, per-user or per-environment keys)
  scopes: none — the key is unscoped; there is no OAuth, no permission model and no
    read-only variant, so any approved integration holds full account authority.
transport:
  tls_required: true
  note: >-
    "Connections to the API server must be secured with SSL. Non-SSL connections will be
    dropped." — https://support.webinarjam.com/en/articles/15370144-connect-to-webinarjam-or-everwebinar-api
gaps:
  - No OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect or token-exchange surface is published.
  - The credential travels in the request BODY rather than an Authorization header, so it
    lands in application logs and proxy request bodies more readily than a header credential.
  - No scopes, so a delegated or agent integration cannot be granted less than full account access.
