    OAuth 2.0 secured API. Obtain an access token using client credentials to
    access protected endpoints. The regional endpoints listed below serve every
    Zivio organisation, so each request — including the token request — must
    carry a `zivio-tenant-id` header identifying yours. Requests without it are
    rejected with a 404 before any token is checked.
