summary:
  types: [http, apiKey]
  api_key_in: [header]
  oauth2_flows: []
  openid_connect: false
  mutual_tls: false
  note: >-
    Trip Ninja publishes NO OAuth 2.0 and NO OpenID Connect. Nothing in the seventeen harvested
    OpenAPI documents declares a components.securitySchemes block at all — the auth contract lives
    only in the prose docs and in the first-party SDK source. There are consequently no OAuth scopes
    and no scopes/ artifact for this provider.
schemes:
- name: TokenAuthentication
  type: http
  scheme: Token
  in: header
  header: Authorization
  format: 'Authorization: Token <access_token>'
  example: 'headers = {"Authorization": "Token " + api_key}'
  applies_to:
  - SmartFlights (v3)
  - FareStructure (v2, deprecated)
  - Virtual Interlining (v2, deprecated)
  - DataStream
  token_lifetime: 90 days from created_date
  issuance: >-
    Minted by a human in the Trip Ninja Admin Panel (app.tripninja.io) under Developer Resources.
    There is no self-serve signup; an admin panel username and password is issued by Trip Ninja.
  refresh:
    operation: POST /adminpanel/refresh-token/
    spec: openapi/webjet-tripninja-adminpanel-refresh-token-openapi.yml
    request: {access_token: required, refresh_token: required}
    response_fields: [access_token, refresh_token, expiry_date, created_date, is_production_token, is_datastream_token]
    refresh_token_lifetime: indefinite until regenerated; using one issues a new refresh_token
  environment_flags:
    is_production_token: false = sandbox-only credentials
    is_datastream_token: false = SmartFlights credentials (true = DataStream)

- name: BasicAuthentication
  type: http
  scheme: basic
  in: header
  header: Authorization
  format: 'Authorization: Basic base64(USERNAME:PASSWORD)'
  example: 'auth = base64.b64encode("USERNAME:PASSWORD"); headers = {"authorization": "Basic "+ auth}'
  applies_to: [SmartFlights, FareStructure, Virtual Interlining]
  note: >-
    Verbatim from the docs — "SmartFlights API uses both Basic Authentication and Token Authentication
    standards. Depending on how you signed up for your account, you will need to use one or the other.
    If you signed up through our admin panel please follow the Token Authentication steps. Otherwise,
    please follow the Basic Authentication steps." Not offered for DataStream.

- name: SDKClientCredentials
  type: apiKey
  in: header
  header_names: [X-Client-ID, X-Client-Secret]
  token_endpoint: POST /sdk/auth/
  base_urls:
    production: https://api.tripninja.io
    sandbox: https://sandbox.tripninja.io
  returns: >-
    A credentials document keyed by token type — sandbox_token, prod_token, data_stream_token — which
    the SDK then presents as "Authorization: Token <token>" on every subsequent call. On a 401 the SDK
    re-fetches credentials and retries once.
  env_vars: [TN_SDK_CLIENT_ID, TN_SDK_CLIENT_SECRET]
  credential_cache: credentials.json on local disk (atomic write)
  status: >-
    Undocumented on the developer hub — discovered in the first-party SDK source. /sdk/auth/ appears in
    no published OpenAPI document.

  ip_allowlisting: true
  quote: >-
    "For security, Trip Ninja's servers are only accessible from whitelisted IPs. Please contact your
    account manager to whitelist the IPs you will be using."
  effect: >-
    A valid token is not sufficient. Every API host (sandbox.tripninja.io, preprodapi.tripninja.io,
    api.tripninja.io) returns 403 to any source IP that has not been allow-listed by Trip Ninja.
