# DZ Ecommerce auth.md

DZ Ecommerce (https://dzecommerce.com) is a public news site. **Agents do not need to register or authenticate.**
There is no account system, no OAuth authorization server and no API key for public read access.

## Audience

Any AI agent, crawler, assistant or automation that wants to read DZ Ecommerce news, company
profiles or author pages.

## Registration

None. There is no registration or provisioning endpoint. Do not attempt to create accounts.

## Supported methods

| Method | Status |
| --- | --- |
| Anonymous, unauthenticated HTTPS GET | Supported for every public resource |
| OAuth 2.0 / OIDC | Not offered (no protected resources) |
| API keys | Not offered |
| Web Bot Auth (HTTP Message Signatures) | Optional: signed requests are welcome and may receive higher rate limits |

## Credential use

No credentials are required. Send requests without an `Authorization` header.
Identify your agent with a descriptive `User-Agent` and, if you can, sign requests with
[Web Bot Auth](https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/webbotauth/about/).
Our own outbound fetchers sign their requests; our public keys are published at
https://dzecommerce.com/.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory.
