  This profile is read from the documentation and confirmed against live responses.
  Three distinct and unrelated auth models are in play across the Second Life API
  surface — an API key header, an unguessable capability URL, and OpenID 2.0 for
  the web properties — and none of them is OAuth 2.0.

  - id: api-key-header
    type: apiKey

      - Second Life Name to Agent ID API (POST https://api.secondlife.com/get_agent_id)
    issued_at: https://accounts.secondlife.com/manage_api_key
    issuance: >-
      Self-service, but behind a Second Life account login — accounts.secondlife.com
      redirects an anonymous browser to id.secondlife.com. A Second Life account is
      therefore a hard prerequisite for a key.
    evidence: >-
      A POST with a valid JSON body and no header returned HTTP 400 with the exact
      body {"error": "bad_input", "message": "No API key included in header"}
      (probed 2026-08-25; response carried an x-ll-request-id header).

      An unguessable UUID-bearing URL of the form
      https://cap.secondlife.com/cap/0/<uuid> acts as both the endpoint and the
      credential. Registration API capabilities are minted by POSTing first_name,
      last_name and password to https://cap.secondlife.com/get_reg_capabilities;
      the response is a set of per-operation capability URLs (add_to_group,
      create_user, check_name, get_last_names, get_error_codes). Inventory API
      capabilities (FetchInventory2, FetchInventoryDescendents2, FetchLib2,
      FetchLibDescendents2) are handed to the viewer at login rather than fetched.

      https://cap.secondlife.com/ returns "Invalid Capability ID." (HTTP 200,

      Second Life's own web estate authenticates against an OpenID 2.0 provider at
      id.secondlife.com. This is OpenID 2.0, NOT OpenID Connect — there is no
      /.well-known/openid-configuration on any host (all probed 404), no discovery
      document, and no OAuth 2.0 authorization server. It is not offered to third
      parties as a delegated-authorization mechanism for the APIs above.

  No OAuth 2.0 anywhere on the Second Life API surface — no authorization server,
  no scopes, no token endpoint. scopes/ is intentionally absent for this provider
  rather than written empty.
