  NSE publishes named test/UAT environments for its Web APIs and a separate UAT protocol document
  for the Extranet API. There is no self-service sandbox, no test API key, and no published test
  data set — access to UAT requires an Exchange-enabled member user, and the UAT hostnames do not
  resolve from the public internet.
