  live unauthenticated HTTP probes of https://api.storytellit.com and https://api.likeablelocal.com,
  plus the publicly served application bundle
  https://app.storytellit.com/dist/main-c348e06a35af2239d3e7.js which names the API base
no_pointer: true
no_pointer_reason: >-
  NO `type: Authentication` pointer is wired into apis.yml. The apis.io rating check
  `authentication_documented` reads `common[].type includes "Authentication"` and asserts that the
  PROVIDER documents authentication as its own topic. Likeable Local / Storytellit publishes no
  authentication documentation of any kind. This file records what an unauthenticated probe observed
  about a private backend, which is not the same fact, and wiring the pointer would credit the
  company with a document it has never published.
summary: >-
  Likeable Local / Storytellit runs a real, live, production API — it is simply not a developer
  product. api.storytellit.com and api.likeablelocal.com resolve to the same AWS application load
  balancer (prod-api-likeablelocal-1606450325.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com) and serve the backend for
  the login-gated Storytellit / Likeable Local web application. Every service path answers 401 to an
  anonymous caller. There is no developer portal, no reference, no machine-readable specification,
  no key issuance flow, and no public sign-up for API access.

  ownership_evidence: >-
    The company's own application bundle, served from app.storytellit.com, hard-codes
    https://api.storytellit.com as its API base and https://api.storytellit.com/social_login/ as its
    social-login entry point. Both API hostnames CNAME to a single Amazon ELB whose name embeds the
    company's own product slug (prod-api-likeablelocal). Ownership is not in question.
  framework_fingerprint: >-
    Express (x-powered-by: Express) fronting FeathersJS — every error body is the FeathersJS envelope
    {name, message, code, className, errors}, and 404s report className "not-found" while 401s report
    className "not-authenticated".

    Anonymous requests to service paths are rejected with HTTP 401 and the body
    {"name":"NotAuthenticated","message":"You are not authenticated.","code":401,
    "className":"not-authenticated","errors":{}} — the FeathersJS authentication hook's default
    rejection. The credential format (JWT bearer, cookie, or Feathers accessToken) is NOT observable
    without an account, so it is recorded as unknown rather than guessed.

  type: oauth2-third-party
  observed: >-
    The application bundle references https://api.storytellit.com/social_login/ and the application
    shell initializes the Facebook JavaScript SDK with a Facebook app id, consistent with the product
    connecting client Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn accounts for publishing. This is the company
    consuming third-party social APIs, not the company issuing credentials to third parties.

  introspection: refused
  observed: >-
    Both GET and a POST introspection query {__schema{queryType{name}}} return HTTP 401 with
    {"error":{"ok":false,"message":"Error: User object is required A","data":{}}} — a distinct
    envelope from the REST services, so a GraphQL layer is present but the schema cannot be read
    anonymously. NO SDL has been captured or inferred; nothing about the graph's shape is recorded
    here because nothing about it was observable.

note: >-
  Recorded so a later round does not repeat the discovery work, and so the profile can state honestly
  WHY it is thin: this is not a company without an API, it is a company whose API is an internal
  application backend it has never published, documented, or offered to developers. Nothing in this
  file was obtained with credentials, and no attempt was made to enumerate the service surface beyond
  the handful of conventional discovery paths every host in this pipeline is probed for.
