summary: >-
  APIVerve has no separate test-vs-live key namespace and publishes no magic test values (it is a
  lookup/compute catalog, not a payments API). "Try before you spend" is served by a free tier, a
  browser playground on the real key, an analytics endpoint that never spends a credit, and
  cost-free mock modes.
test_vs_live:
  separate_keys: false
  note: One key per account across free and paid; scoped sub-keys restrict reach rather than separating environments.
free_tier:
  credits_per_month: 200
  card_required: false
  note: Development & testing only, non-commercial, attribution required.

  detail: Call any endpoint from the browser with your real key; copy the working request as curl or code in eight languages.
mock:
  vervekit_mock:
    url: https://docs.apiverve.com/vervekit/mock
    detail: Stand up fake API responses (fixed bodies, status codes, headers, request rules) on your own mock server before the real endpoint exists.
  postman_mock:
    url: https://docs.apiverve.com/postman
    detail: The catalog Postman collection includes a mock mode that costs nothing.
no_cost_endpoint:
  analytics_api:
