Authorization: `Bearer <API key>` — see [Authentication](https://www.tryadeli.com/docs/authentication)

> Deleting a profile removes its connected accounts, their cached history, and
> its connection sessions. Your API keys belong to the organization and keep
> working. It does not delete anything on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X, or Bluesky.
