Kaggle
Kaggle's public REST API covers programmatic access to its huge library of community-published datasets, competitions, kernels/notebooks, and models, mirroring the official `kaggle` CLI. Every documented call is authenticated with a per-account API token (downloaded as kaggle.json from account settings) sent as HTTP Basic Auth, even though a handful of public listing/download routes tolerate anonymous, rate-limited use in practice.

- Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
- Send it on every request as a header
Authorization: <key> - The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Stored keyNo key stored
