    The complete Scanova Management API — every endpoint available at
    api.scanova.io (QR codes, folders, tags, leads, forms, analytics, plans,
    shared users & roles), plus the token-creation and usage-stats endpoints
    used to authenticate against it. Every path and request/response shape below
    was verified live against a real API key and the actual running backend
    (Phase 7, 2026-08-16) — not guessed from reading urls.py alone.

      description: >-
        Send your Management API key as the raw value of the Authorization
        header — no "Bearer " or "Token " prefix, and no other characters.
        Example: `Authorization: 401f7ac837da42b97f613d789819ff93537bee6a`. A
        header containing more than one space-separated part is rejected
        outright. Requests also require the request's Host header to be the
        management API host (e.g. api.scanova.io) — the same key sent to the
        regular API host will not authenticate.
