  notes: Authentication is via an API key generated from the Abacus.AI user profile
    (https://abacus.ai/app/profile/apikey). The key is supplied to the first-party
    Python client at construction time (ApiClient(api_key)); the SDK manages the API
    key transport to the REST API internally. No OAuth2 / OpenID Connect flow is documented
    for the platform REST API.

  description: API key generated at https://abacus.ai/app/profile/apikey and passed
    to the ApiClient (Python client) or sent to the REST API. Within Abacus.AI hosted
    Notebooks the client initializes without an explicit key.
