environments:
- name: sandbox
  url: null
  url_note: >-
    No sandbox base URL is published. It is issued to a partner after onboarding. sandbox.401go.com
    resolves (ghs.googlehosted.com) but is not documented as the API sandbox host.
  credentials: issued by 401GO after onboarding
  purpose: build and test an integration before production credentials are issued
- name: production
  url: https://app.401go.com/api
  credentials: >-
    Production client credentials are issued only after 401GO verifies the integration's
    functionality and compliance, at the start of the beta phase.

how_to_get_access:
  contact: partnersupport@401go.com
  steps:
  - Contact 401GO to define scopes, timelines and requirements; a developer contact is assigned.
  - Request endpoint + HTTP-method level access for the operations your use case needs.
  - Receive sandbox access and build/test the integration.
  - 401GO verifies functionality and compliance with its standards.
  - Production credentials are issued; the integration enters a beta phase with select clients.
  - Full release to all interested users.

test_vs_live_separation:
  key_prefixes: []
  mode_flag: null
  note: >-
    401GO does not publish a test/live key-prefix or mode convention. Separation is by
    environment and by separately-issued credential sets, not by a key namespace.

magic_test_values: []
test_clocks: null
fixture_tooling: null
simulation_triggers: []
values_note: >-
  No test identifiers, test SSNs, test participant ids, seeded companies, decline/failure
  simulation values, or fixture tooling are published anywhere in the developer docs. NOTHING
  is invented here — the sandbox exists and is documented, but its test data surface is not
  public.

interactive_console:
  url: https://developer.401go.com/reference/companies_list
  type: ReadMe API Explorer
  note: >-
    Each of the 72 reference pages on the ReadMe-hosted portal renders a try-it console with a
    request builder and code samples. Requires your own credentials — there is no anonymous
    demo key.

gaps:
- No published sandbox base URL.
- No self-serve sandbox signup; access requires a partner conversation.
- No published test data, magic values, or fixtures.
- No time simulation or event-trigger tooling.
