  Upgraded from the mechanically derived profile using the authentication section
  FinditParts publishes in the overview of its own "FinditParts Reseller API 2.0.1"
  Postman documentation. FinditParts uses no OAuth 2.0 and no OpenID Connect — there
  is no authorization server, no scope surface and no consent screen, so no
  scopes/ artifact is emitted for this provider. Both credentials travel in the same
  Authorization: Bearer header, which is why a purely spec-derived profile collapses
  them into one http/bearer scheme; the two are distinct credential types with
  distinct capability, and are recorded separately here.
summary:
  types:
  - http
  http_schemes:
  - bearer
  bearer_formats:
  - JWT
  - opaque-api-key
  oauth2_flows: []
  api_key_in: []
  credential_issuance: manual
  credential_issuer: FinditParts (Reseller Client ID + Reseller Client Secret, and an API key,
    are issued by FinditParts to approved reseller/partner clients)
schemes:
- name: resellerJWT
  type: http
  scheme: bearer
  bearerFormat: JWT
  algorithm: HS256
  signing_key: Reseller Client Secret (provided by FinditParts)
  header: 'Authorization: Bearer JWT.TOKEN.HERE'
  per_request: true
  description: >-
    A separately generated, short-lived JWT for each request, signed with the
    Reseller Client Secret using HS256.
  claims:
  - claim: iss
    required: true
    description: The Reseller Client ID provided by FinditParts.
  - claim: exp
    required: true
    description: Expiration. FinditParts instructs that this be kept as short as reasonable
      to prevent requests from being replayed.
  - claim: sub
    required: conditional
    description: The Customer Reference. Required on endpoints that act on behalf of a
      specific customer (createResellerCustomerSession, shippingMethods, and productSearch
      when account-specific pricing is wanted). Omitting sub returns generic list pricing
      rather than account pricing.
  - claim: data.intent
    required: conditional
    description: Declares the purpose of the call. Documented values are PRODUCT_SEARCH,
      SHIPPING_METHODS, USER_SETUP and NEW_ORDER.
  - claim: data
    required: conditional
    description: On shippingMethods the JWT may carry the line_items/address payload
      inside data as an alternative to sending them as query parameters.

  description: >-
    An issued API key, for client-side apps that cannot hold a JWT signing secret —
    FinditParts names mobile apps and single-buyer partner applications. Issued to
    reseller clients alongside the JWT credentials.
  grants:
  - Non-user-specific endpoints — product search, create session, create user
  - The Partner surface (partnersShippingMethods, partnersPlaceOrder) requires a Partner API key
  - The Master Account surface (listResellerCustomers) requires a Master Account API key
  restrictions: >-
    User-specific calls (user-specific pricing in product search, cart operations,
    order creation and order history) are not reachable with the API key alone. An
    API-key client must first exchange a user's credentials for a user-specific JWT
    via createSession (that call itself still requires the API key), then present
    the returned user JWT as Authorization: Bearer USER.JWT.TOKEN.

token_lifecycle:
- token: reseller request JWT
  ttl: per-request, issuer-chosen (docs instruct "as short as reasonable")
  refresh: regenerate and sign a new token for every request
- token: user-specific session JWT
  ttl: 1 month (default, per the createSession and refreshSession documentation)
  refresh: refreshSession returns a new user-specific JWT; call it prior to expiration
  revocation: destroySessions destroys the current sessions for the user
alternate_credentials:
- name: cart token
  description: >-
    Every cart operation documents "Requires a user specific JWT in the Authorization
    header or a cart token parameter" — an anonymous cart-scoped credential passed as
    a request parameter. FinditParts does not document the parameter name or issuance
    in the public collection.
