  NutriCal exposes a pre-production environment used for testing against the
  same API surface as production. A test Access-Token is issued per entity; the
  docs demonstrate calls against the preprod host. NutriCal publishes no magic
  test values (the ingredient/nutrient/allergen ids below are real reference
  data returned by the live API, usable for read-only testing).
environments:
  production:
    base_url: https://api.nutrical.co
  preprod:

    note: >-
      Pre-production host shown in the documented curl examples
      (e.g. GET https://preprodapi.nutrical.co/external/api/v2/meal-plans/).
credentials:
  model: >-
    Obtain an entity_id and client_access_token from the Create Entity operation
    (organization API Key required); pass the token as the Access-Token header.
