sandbox:
  slug: otis-worldwide
  available: true
  access: gated
  summary: >-
    Otis publishes an API sandbox / simulation-and-test environment for the Otis Integrated Dispatch
    API so service-robot providers can test and configure robots against a simulated elevator before
    any hardware is installed on site. Access is not self-serve: a developer signs up for a portal
    account and then subscribes to the API product to request sandbox access.
  environments:
    - name: OID API sandbox
      purpose: >-
        Test and configure service robots for elevator use before deployment on-site; Otis states it
        may even eliminate the need for the integrator to install their own integration hardware.
      access_path:
        - Sign up for an Otis developer account at https://developers.otis.com/signup
        - View the API documentation in the portal
        - Subscribe to the API product to request sandbox access
        - A subscription key is issued and required for further operations
      self_serve: false
      credentials_published: false
    - name: Compass Simulation and Test Environment
      purpose: >-
        Named in the Otis eCall Pro API and OID API Appendix as part of the licensed Otis Products
        and Software, alongside the Compass Destination Entry System and the developer-portal sample
        code.
      access_path:
        - Covered by an executed Otis Digital Services Rider
      self_serve: false
      credentials_published: false
  test_values:
    published: false
    note: >-
      Otis publishes no test credentials, test identifiers, simulated car IDs or fixture data on any
      public page. Nothing was invented here — the sandbox is real and documented, its test data is not.
  sample_code:
    published: false
    note: >-
      "Developer portal sample code" is named in both Otis API appendices as licensed material, so
      sample code exists inside the portal; it is not reachable anonymously.
