environments:
- name: production
  base_url: https://api.ev.energy/v2
  description: Used by real, live integrations. The only environment where full testing against real hardware
    (vehicles and EVSEs) is possible.
- name: sandbox
  base_url: https://api.ev.energy/v2
  description: Test environment returning dummy data that matches the structure and format of the real
    API closely but does not behave realistically. GET /v2/users/ returns a static list; GET /v2/users/{user_id}
    always returns the same user regardless of the ID supplied.
- name: staging
  base_url: https://api-staging.ev.energy/v2
  description: 'Declared in the OpenAPI servers[] block and marked x-internal: true — internal ev.energy
    testing only, not offered to integrators.'

  mechanism: credentials
  note: Sandbox and production share one base URL. Which dataset is returned is determined entirely by
    the type of OAuth credentials used. There is no test-mode key prefix, header, or query parameter.
credential_issuance:
  self_serve: false
  note: ev.energy issues sandbox and production client_id/client_secret pairs during onboarding. There
    is no public self-service key signup.
test_values:
  published: false
  note: No test cards, magic identifiers, fixture triggers, or time-simulation tooling are published.
