  Duuo's own published Authorization documentation, retrieved from the Internet Archive capture of
  its developer-portal Postman collection. The live portal (https://developer.duuo.ca/) returns 404
  as of 2026-07-25. Co-operators' own advisor/broker surface is sign-in walls only and documents no
  API authentication at all.
token_flow:
  protocol: OAuth 2.0
  grant_type: client_credentials
  token_endpoint: partner-issued (no public token URL is published)
  client_authentication: >-
    HTTP Basic — 'Authorization: Basic ' + Base64Encoded("client_id" + ":" + "client_secret")
  request_body: '{"grant_type":"client_credentials"}'
  response_fields: [access_token, expires_in, token_type]
  token_type: Bearer
  expires_in: 3600
  refresh: >-
    Duuo states the token expires every 60 minutes and should therefore be refreshed. There is no
    refresh_token in a client_credentials flow — re-run the token call.
  call_header: 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}'
credential_issuance:
  self_serve: false
  process: >-
    Discovery call with the Duuo partnerships team, signed partnership agreement, assigned Partner
    Account Manager, then issued API access credentials and a partner-specific host. A compliance
    review of the implementation is required before go-live.

authorization_model:

    Per-partner entitlement enforced server-side. An unentitled call returns 403 "Access Denied -
    Requires Access Mgmt" with responseDetails "Access denied."

    of "Basic " + Base64("client_id" + ":" + "client_secret"). No scopes are published. The
    token URL is partner-issued and is not a public endpoint, so the tokenUrl below is a placeholder.
