description: >-
  FlightFinder publishes no separate sandbox ENVIRONMENT — there is one production
  base URL and no test/live key split. What it does publish, and what this artifact
  records, is a credential-free way to exercise the real API: a documented keyless
  tier plus two pre-built consoles generated from the OpenAPI.

  mechanism: keyless tier — send no Authorization header at all

    Every endpoint pre-filled and grouped by resource, built from the OpenAPI. The

    Subscribe to the free Basic plan and call the API through the RapidAPI gateway,
    which carries the key for you — no FlightFinder key is created.
  caveat: >-
    The provider warns that the origin rate limits are what it enforces and that a
    platform may apply its own quota on top.

test_values:
  note: >-
    No synthetic test identifiers exist and none are invented here. The corpus is
    real public-record data, so any real value works as a test value. The following
    are examples the PROVIDER publishes on its developer page and in its tool
    schemas, not values authored by this pipeline.
