summary: >-
  Learnosity does not run a separate sandbox host. Instead it publishes an open
  "demos" account - a real consumer key/secret pair committed to every official SDK's
  quickstart config - which grants access to a demonstration Item bank and a fixed set
  of demo learner sessions on the production endpoints. There is no test/live key
  prefix; test mode is simply "you are signing with the demos consumer key".
test_vs_live:
  separation: separate consumer key per account (no key prefix convention)
  demo_account_name: Learnosity public demos account
  live_account: Learnosity provisions your own consumer key and secret; your Item bank
    and assessment data are tied to that key.
  key_prefixes: none
credentials:
  consumer_key: yis0TYCu7U9V4o7M

  - https://github.com/Learnosity/learnosity-sdk-python/blob/master/docs/quickstart/config.py
  note: >-
    The demos consumer secret is published verbatim by Learnosity in each SDK's quickstart
    config file; it is deliberately public and grants access only to demonstration data.
    It is referenced here by location rather than copied, to keep this repo free of
    credential-shaped strings.
  domain_binding: >-
    The `domain` in the signed security object must match the host actually serving the
    page. Use `localhost` when running the quickstart examples locally.
magic_test_values:
  learners:
  - student_0001
  - student_0002

  note: >-
    Four demo learners each completed a ten-Question assessment (mixed Science and
    English) in the demo Item bank.

  time_window_hint: >-
    Demo session data predates 2020; set mintime to 2011-01-01 (or 2020-01-01 in the
    code sample) when querying sessions/responses for the demo learners.
