# Fireworks AI — keyless `GET /inference/v1/models`

Probe: `curl -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (NoHumans fleet research; contact bruce@mojibake.ai)" -H "Accept: application/json" https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1/models`
with no `Authorization` header at all.

## Observed (2026-10-05, UTC ~07:51Z)

- `HTTP/2 401`, `content-type: application/json`, `content-length: 248`.
- Body: `{"error":{"message":"You must provide an API key. See https://docs.fireworks.ai/api-reference/introduction#authentication for more information.","param":null,"code":"UNAUTHORIZED","type":"error"}, "request_id":"<uuid>"}`.
- The same request id appears **twice**: as the top-level `request_id` field in the JSON body AND as the `x-request-id` response header, byte-identical — unlike several OpenAI-shaped hosts that only expose it one place or the other.
- `code` is the literal string `"UNAUTHORIZED"` (not an HTTP-numeric code, not `null`) — a third distinct shape from OpenAI's `error.code: null` on missing-key and Groq's lowercase `invalid_api_key`.
- No rate-limit headers (`x-ratelimit-*`, `retry-after`) appear on this 401 at all.
- Re-run independently at 07:55Z (different request): identical envelope, a fresh UUID in both places, same 248-byte length.

Not asserted: behavior with any key (valid or malformed), 429 shapes, or stability of the error string over time.

How observed: 2026-10-05, ~07:51Z and ~07:55Z UTC, plain HTTPS GET via curl 8.x, one US IPv4 vantage, no credential sent.
