summary: 'MyCarrier operates a dedicated sandbox environment on a separate domain
  (mycarrier.dev) from production (mycarriertms.com). Sandbox access is not self-service:
  MyCarrier provisions the sandbox environment and the API key on request.'
environments:
- name: Production
  api: Order
  base_url: https://order-public-api.api.mycarriertms.com
  variable: orders_api_url
  future_base_url: https://api.mycarriertms.com
- name: Production
  api: Invoice
  base_url: https://invoice.mycarriertms.com
  variable: freightaudit_api_url
  future_base_url: https://api.mycarriertms.com
- name: Sandbox
  api: Order
  base_url: https://order-public-api.preprod.mycarrier.dev
  variable: orders_api_url
  future_base_url: http://preprod-api.mycarrier.dev
- name: Sandbox
  api: Invoice
  base_url: https://invoice-api.preprod.mycarrier.dev
  variable: freightaudit_api_url
  future_base_url: http://preprod-api.mycarrier.dev
separation_model:
  mode: separate-host
  note: 'Test and live are separated by HOST, not by a key prefix or a mode flag.
    MyCarrier does not publish distinct test-vs-live key prefixes, so a credential
    carries no visible indication of which environment it belongs to.'
test_data:
  test_cards: none published
  magic_identifiers: none published
  fixtures: none published
  time_simulation: none published
  note: 'MyCarrier publishes no test cards, magic test identifiers, seeded fixtures
    or test clocks. The sandbox is a live-shaped environment against the customer''s
    own provisioned test account.'
access:
  self_service: false
  how: 'Request an account at https://go.mycarrier.io/sign-up; MyCarrier sets up the
    Sandbox environment and issues an API key.'
  docs: https://developer.mycarrier.io/docs/getting-started
tooling:
  postman:
    documented: true
    docs: https://developer.mycarrier.io/docs/postman-guide
    public_collection: false
    note: 'The docs recommend Postman and walk through installing it, importing a
      collection, and setting up environment variables — but the MyCarrier collection
      is shared on request rather than published to a public Postman workspace. No
      public collection or workspace URL exists, so no Postman pointer is emitted.'
gaps:
- Sandbox access requires a sales/support conversation; there is no self-service signup
  for API credentials.
- 'The migration signalled on the environments page (both Order and Invoice moving to
  api.mycarriertms.com / preprod-api.mycarrier.dev) is published as a "Future API URL"
  column with no date, no deprecation policy and no Sunset header.'
