description: >-
  Greenspark publishes staging environments (Demo and Sandbox) alongside
  production. The same API keys and Custom Integrations exist in both staging and
  production; the only change is the base URL. Sandbox/demo usage is not charged
  and does not create real-world impact, and the Reporting API is scoped per
  environment. No test card numbers or magic test tokens are published (Greenspark
  bills impact, not card payments).
environments:
  - name: demo
    base_url: https://demo-api.getgreenspark.com
    charged: false
    note: Build and test integrations without affecting production. Reporting shows Demo data only.
  - name: sandbox
    base_url: https://sandbox.getgreenspark.com
    charged: false
    note: Build and test integrations without affecting production. Reporting shows Sandbox data only.
  - name: production
    base_url: https://api.getgreenspark.com
    charged: true
    note: Live system. Charged for API usage and impacts created. Reporting shows Production data only.
key_binding:
  rule: Match key to host — a sandbox key only authenticates against the sandbox host, a production key only against the production host.
  header: x-api-key
recommendation: Use a sandbox key for first tests.
