summary: 'The Solutions API is protected by OAuth bearer access tokens with a published scope model.
  Tokens are not self-service: access is requested through the Welcome to the Jungle help form and the
  vendor grants the scopes matching the stated use case. There is no OpenAPI document, so this profile
  is read from the published authentication and scopes pages rather than derived from securitySchemes.'

  type: http
  scheme: bearer

  parameter: Authorization
  format: 'Authorization: Bearer WK_API_KEY'

  description: Preferred transport. The OAuth access token is sent in the Authorization request header.

  format: '?access_token=WK_API_KEY'
  primary: false
  description: 'Documented alternative — the same OAuth access token passed as a query-string parameter.
    Query-string credentials leak into proxy and server logs and into browser history; the header form
    should be preferred by any integration that can set headers.'

  description: 'No developer console issues keys. The docs state you must request an authentication
    token through the help form and explain your use case; the vendor then opens the appropriate scopes.
    Several endpoints (GET /jobs/all, GET /organizations, GET /cms/articles/all) additionally require a
    dedicated partnership agreement before the su_* / cms_* scopes are granted.'
