model: separate-staging-host
note: >-
  Bazaarvoice separates test from live by HOST, not by key prefix. The staging host is documented
  in the Conversations API platform concepts page and is the default servers[] entry in almost
  every OpenAPI Bazaarvoice publishes on its developer portal, and it is the host hard-coded into
  the first-party Postman collections Bazaarvoice distributes. No public test passkey is published:
  keys are requested per client in the Bazaarvoice Portal API Key Management application and must
  be activated by a Technical Administrator, so a sandbox key still requires an account.
environments:
- name: staging
  host: https://stg.api.bazaarvoice.com
  purpose: Used while developing your application.
  behavior: >-
    Content submitted to staging is automatically published approximately every 15 minutes,
    so submission flows can be exercised end-to-end without waiting on human moderation.

- name: production
  host: https://api.bazaarvoice.com
  purpose: Used when your application is complete.
  behavior: Content submitted to production is manually moderated in 72 business hours or less.

  detail: >-
    There is no published test passkey, test client_id, or magic test identifier. API passkeys are
    requested through the API Key Management application in the Bazaarvoice Portal
    (https://portal.bazaarvoice.com) and activated by a Technical Administrator; the same key
    request flow covers staging and production.
