  notes: Brightflag's API uses OAuth 2.0. Clients POST to {BASE_URL}/oauth/token to
    exchange credentials for a bearer access_token, then send that token in the HTTP
    Authorization header on every request. The token response returns access_token,
    token_type "bearer", an expiry, and a scope. API credentials are generated inside
    the product admin area (Admin > API access) at the developer portal.
