  Captured from the Impala Hotel Booking API docs/OpenAPI. The sandbox hosts no
  longer resolve (the company is defunct) — these are the published test-mode
  conventions for the historical record. No secret test values are invented here.
environments:
  - name: sandbox
    base_url: https://sandbox.impala.travel/v1
    key_type: sandbox API key (x-api-key)
  - name: production
    base_url: https://api.impala.travel/v1
    key_type: production API key (x-api-key)
key_separation: >-
  Sandbox and production keys are distinct and not interchangeable; using a
  sandbox key against production (or vice versa) returns 401.
test_fixtures:
  - description: >-
      A sandbox API key is issued immediately on sign-up (no credit card) and is
      retrieved from the Impala Management Console.
  - description: >-
      Each account is provisioned a sandbox hotel named "The Charleston"; its
      hotel ID is shown in the Management Console and is used to run search /
      availability / booking flows against realistic test data.
  - description: >-
      Bookings created in sandbox are fake ("without any risk") and never touch a
      real property.
