BitWarden
Bitwarden's Public API lets an organization's admins manage members, groups, collections, event logs, and policies programmatically — separate from the Vault Management API, which handles individual vault items. It authenticates via OAuth 2.0 client-credentials, exchanging an organization's client ID/secret (issued from the admin console) for a short-lived bearer token, and is gated to Teams and Enterprise subscriptions rather than the free password-manager tier. As an open-source password manager built for both individuals and businesses, Bitwarden exposes this REST API mainly for enterprise provisioning and SIEM/event-log integrations.
