  There is no test-vs-live key separation here, and there are no magic test values — this is a
  read-only open data API, so the production surface IS the safe surface: every call is a query,
  nothing can be mutated, and no credential is required to start. What the provider does publish is
  an interactive request console against the real API, plus the platform's own public example portal
  used throughout the reference documentation. Both were confirmed answering on 2026-07-27.
test_vs_live:
  separated: false
  reason: >-
    Read-only, GET-only API. There is no write path to sandbox, no test mode, and no test key prefix.
    Experimentation happens against production data with no side effects.
