documented_models:
  - product: Khoros Care
    schemes: [http-basic, jwt]
    detail: >-
      Care v1 and v2 APIs use HTTP Basic against the per-instance
      {instance}.response.lithium.com host. The Automation Framework's Bot API v3 on
      api.app.lithium.com uses a signed JSON Web Token (header/payload/signature) instead —
      the documentation is explicit that only Bot API v3 uses JWT. The Care Authentication
      API v2 (/api/v2/tokens) exchanges credentials for a token.
    docs: https://developer.khoros.com/khoroscaredevdocs/docs/jwt-authentication
  - product: Khoros Marketing
    schemes: [oauth2]
    detail: >-
      OAuth 2.0 against login.spredfast.com. Token introspection is available at
      https://api.spredfast.com/v2/whoami. Tenancy is carried in x-sf-company-id /
      x-sf-initiative / x-sf-user-email request headers alongside the token.
  - product: Khoros Community
    schemes: [session, api-app-credentials]
    detail: >-
      Community v2 rejects anonymous calls with its JSON error envelope (code 203).
      Credentials are provisioned as API apps through the community admin. Documentation is
      behind the Atlas login.
  - product: Khoros Flow
    schemes: [api-key]
    detail: Token-based access to the flow.ai REST API.

caveats:
  - >-
    The `sec0` clientCredentials scheme repeated across seven Khoros Marketing definitions
    declares tokenUrl https://example.com/oauth2/token with an empty scopes map. That is a
    ReadMe API-designer placeholder, not a real authorization server — the working OAuth
    endpoints are the login.spredfast.com pair on the Conversations API v1 definition.
  - >-
    Only 12 of the 28 harvested definitions declare any security scheme at all; the
    remaining 16 (mostly the per-instance Care v2 APIs) document authentication in prose
    only.
