  There is no vendor-hosted sandbox, no free trial and no test-vs-live key separation —
  those concepts do not apply, because every Netcracker API with a public contract is
  self-hosted software. What Netcracker does publish is a documented way to stand the whole
  product up locally in minutes, which is the only way to exercise the API. No test tokens,
  magic identifiers or fixture values are published, and none are invented here.

interactive_console:
  name: REST Playground
  kind: in-product try-it console
  repo: https://github.com/Netcracker/qubership-apihub-rest-playground
  proxy_operation: getAgentsIdNamespacesIdServicesProxy
  note: >-
    Ships inside the Portal so a consumer can call a catalogued operation from the docs page;
    for non-cloud environments calls are relayed through the registry's /playground/proxy
    endpoint. It is part of your own deployment, not a Netcracker-hosted console.

  repo: https://github.com/Netcracker/qubership-apihub-test-service
  note: A test service used by the project's own suites; not documented as a consumer sandbox.
