  note: >-
    No key can be obtained without a sales conversation. Every tier, including the
    published paid tiers, is entered through the request form; there is no
    dashboard-issued key documented.

  documented: false
  note: No key rotation, expiry, or revocation procedure is published.

gaps:
- >-
  The legacy /automation/* code samples published on https://wideo.co/api/ send
  only a Content-Type header and no x-api-key, so the published documentation does
  not consistently state that the legacy pair requires a key.
- No OAuth, OIDC or scoped-permission surface exists; see conformance/wideo-conformance.yml.
