type: shared demo instance
summary:
  note: 'Nutshell publishes a shared, world-readable API sandbox: a demo account whose email and API token are printed
    in the public authentication guide so anyone can call the REST API immediately. There is no test-vs-live key
    prefix, no per-developer sandbox provisioning, no test clock and no fixture/trigger tooling — it is one demo
    tenant, not a mode.'
access:
  base_url: https://app.nutshell.com/rest
  auth: HTTP Basic
  username: jim@demo.nutshell.com
  token: REDACTED_SEE_PROVIDER_DOCS
  token_note: 'Nutshell prints the live sandbox token in plain text on its public authentication page. It is deliberately
    NOT copied into this repo: a real credential-shaped string in a public artifact trips secret scanning and would
    republish a working key. Read it from https://developers.nutshell.com/docs/api-authentication if you need it.'
modes:
  test_live_separation: false
  key_prefixes: null
  note: API keys carry no test/live prefix. The only separation is which tenant the credentials belong to.
test_data:
  test_cards: null
  test_bank_accounts: null
  hosted_test_tokens: null
  note: Nutshell is not a payments API; no test instruments are published. The demo tenant is pre-populated with
    sample CRM records.
