provider: Dow Jones Developer Platform
providerId: dow-jones-developer-platform
note: Dow Jones publishes a beta/test PLATFORM for the Factiva Developer Kit, not a test-mode key scheme.
  There are no test-vs-live key prefixes, no hosted test tokens, no test clocks and no fixture/trigger
  tooling anywhere in the documentation. Certification runs against the production environment, which
  makes the beta platform a build-time environment rather than a rehearsal surface for an agent.
