note: >-
  AccountsIQ publishes a real staging environment and requires development against it before
  production, but access is granted by AccountsIQ rather than provisioned by the developer.
  There is no signup form, no instant test key, and no public sandbox host — the staging
  endpoint URL and staging credentials are supplied on request via
  integration@accountsiq.com. No test values are recorded below because AccountsIQ publishes
  none: there are no published test card numbers, no magic identifiers and no fixture tokens
  for this API, and inventing any would be fabrication.
modes:
- name: staging
  description: >-
    The development environment. Requires a staging partner key; production keys are a
    different set and are explicitly refused by the staging servers and vice versa.
  endpoint: not published
  credentials: staging partner key + user key, issued by AccountsIQ
- name: production
  description: >-
    Live regional deployments (eu1, eu2, uk1, us1). Requires a live production partner key,
    requested from AccountsIQ once the integration is built.
  endpoint: https://{regioncode}.accountsiq.com/system/dashboard/integration/
sandbox_company:
  description: >-
    The unit of sandboxing is a company, not a key. A developer needs either a blank demo
    company or a copy of a live entity.
  options:
  - name: blank demo company
    consent_required: false
  - name: copy of a live entity
    consent_required: true
    consent_note: Explicit permission from the customer is required to copy their live entity.

credentials_model:
  tokens:
  - name: partner token
    issued_by: AccountsIQ
  - name: user token
    issued_by: >-
      Generated by a user inside the live company; developers use it to impersonate that user.
  note: >-
    The impersonation model means a sandbox user token carries that user's permissions, so
    permission-scoped failures ("Read Permission Required") reproduce in staging.
test_data_reset:
  supported: true
  self_service: false
  mechanism: >-
    Email integration@accountsiq.com specifying what should be cleared and for which company.
    There is no reset API operation and no time-simulation or test-clock facility.
  source: https://accountsiq.github.io/API-Wiki/guidelines.html
time_simulation:
  supported: false
  note: No test clocks or date simulation are published.
promotion_path:
  steps:
  - Email integration@accountsiq.com requesting a live production partner key.
  - Switch the generated web reference from the staging URL to the live production web service URL.
  - Collect each end user's own user integration key.
  - Let the user select their region so the endpoint host is set correctly.

commercial_availability:
  note: >-
    The pricing page lists a "sandbox database" as a Growth-tier feature, so sandbox access is
    also a commercial entitlement and not only a developer-onboarding step.

    The provider's guidelines page points here as "a library of XML samples of API requests and
    responses". The live help page enumerates all 217 Integration 1.1 operations, each with a
    generated SOAP 1.1/1.2 request and response envelope sample at ?op=<OperationName>.
    Anonymously readable — no credentials needed to read the samples.
