description: >-
  Free-tier / trial surface for the Picsart Creative APIs. Picsart does not
  publish a separate test-vs-live key scheme or magic test values (test cards,
  fixtures); instead every new developer account gets a complimentary credit
  balance to trial live endpoints. Captured verbatim from the docs — no test
  values were invented.
test_vs_live:
  scheme: none
  note: A single production API key (X-Picsart-API-Key) is used; there is no separate test key prefix or mode.
free_trial:
  credits: 200
  scope: usable from any app on the account
  exhausted_response: '402 Payment Required (body: { "message": "Payment Required" })'

demo_note: >-
  The error docs reference a demo path form (api.picsart.io/tools/demo/<service>)
  used in curl examples; there is no documented standalone sandbox environment.
