  https://jsapi.apiary.io/apis/cloudsight/apiaryBlueprint.json (mock/proxy URLs)
  and https://cloudsight.ai/demo (the no-signup recognition demo)
description: >-
  CloudSight has no test-mode API keys, no test/live key prefixes and no
  fixture tooling. What it does offer are two try-before-you-authenticate
  surfaces: a public in-browser recognition demo on its own site, and the mock
  server + interactive console that come with its Apiary documentation project.
  Both are real and anonymously reachable; neither is a first-party sandbox
  ENVIRONMENT, and no test credentials are published.
modes:
- name: production
  base_url: https://api.cloudsight.ai/v1
  note: >-
    The only real mode. There is no test mode, no sandbox account, and no
    key-prefix separation between test and live traffic — one account key
    addresses production and consumes credits.
consoles:
- name: CloudSight live demo
  url: https://cloudsight.ai/demo
  auth_required: false
  description: >-
    An in-browser demo that uploads an image and returns the CloudSight caption
    without an account. Backed by https://uploader.cloudsight.ai/upload (and
    /upload/image64 for base64), which is a demo-only endpoint — it is NOT part
    of the documented v1 API and is not in the OpenAPI.

- name: Apiary interactive console
  url: https://cloudsight.docs.apiary.io
  auth_required: false
  description: >-
    The documentation host ships Apiary's client-side console, so each
    documented operation can be executed from the docs page.
mock_server:
  provider: Apiary
  url_pattern: https://private-anon-<session>-cloudsight.apiary-mock.com/v1/
  observed: https://private-anon-26aa6370fc-cloudsight.apiary-mock.com/v1/
  note: >-
    Apiary provisions a per-anonymous-session mock host, so the exact hostname
    above is session-scoped and will differ per visitor. It replays the example
    responses in the blueprint (the same examples captured in
    examples/cloudsight-images-examples.yml).
proxy_server:
  provider: Apiary
  url_pattern: https://private-anon-<session>-cloudsight.apiary-proxy.com/v1/
  note: Records real traffic against production through the docs console.
test_credentials: []
test_data: []
gaps:
- No test API key, no test-mode key prefix, no sandbox account.
- No published fixture images that deterministically produce a given caption or skip reason.
- >-
  No way to force a `timeout`, a `skipped` reason, or an `adult` flag in the
  response for client testing.
- >-
  The mock server is provided by CloudSight's documentation vendor, not by
  CloudSight, and disappears if the Apiary project does.
