description: >-
  Demio's contract distinguishes sandbox credentials from live credentials — GET /ping
  returns a `sandbox` boolean — but Demio publishes no self-serve way to obtain a sandbox
  key pair and ships no test fixtures. This artifact records the distinction because it
  is visible in the published contract, not because a documented sandbox programme
  exists.
test_live_separation:
  supported: true
  mechanism: separate key/secret pair
  signal:
    operation: pingViaHeaders
    field: sandbox
    type: boolean
    meaning: True when the request was authorized with a sandbox key/secret pair.
    source: openapi/demio-openapi.yml#pingViaHeaders
  key_prefixes: none
  note: >-
    Demio API keys and secrets carry no live/test prefix. The only way to tell which mode
    a credential is in is to call GET /ping and read the `sandbox` flag — which means a
    client cannot know it is about to write to production until it has already
    authenticated.
obtaining_credentials:
  self_serve: false
  documented_procedure: null
  note: >-
    Neither the API Blueprint nor the Help Center documents how to request sandbox
    credentials. The Settings > API tab (https://my.demio.com/manage/api-details) issues
    one key/secret pair per account and reports daily usage; it is not documented as
    issuing sandbox pairs.
mock_server:
  provider: Apiary
  url: https://publicdemioapi.apiary-mock.com/api/v1/
  first_party: false
  note: >-
    Apiary generates a mock server from any published blueprint. It is a docs-platform
    feature, not a Demio-operated sandbox, and it returns the blueprint's example payloads
    rather than account data.
test_values:
  cards: null
  identifiers: null
  note: >-
    No magic test identifiers, seeded test Events, test registrants or trigger values are
    published. There is no test clock or time-simulation facility — which matters here
    because the whole data model is time-based (Sessions, attendance windows, no-show
    determination) and cannot be simulated.
free_trial:
  url: https://www.demio.com/free-trial
  api_quota: 100 calls per day
  duration_days: 14
  note: >-
    The closest thing to a self-serve evaluation path is the 14-day free trial, which
    carries a 100 call/day API quota against a real account with real registrant data.
