description: >-
  Rotessa provides a free, fully separate sandbox environment for testing the API
  before moving to live money movement.
environments:
  live:
    base_url: https://api.rotessa.com/v1
    portal: https://app.rotessa.com/
  sandbox:
    base_url: https://sandbox-api.rotessa.com/v1
    signup: https://sandbox.rotessa.com/
    notes: >-
      Sign up at sandbox.rotessa.com, then email support@rotessa.com with your signup
      username/email to have the sandbox account approved and gain API access.
separation:
  model: separate-hosts-and-keys
  notes: >-
    Test and live are fully separate hosts (sandbox-api.rotessa.com vs api.rotessa.com),
    each with its own API key issued from that environment's admin portal. A live key
    will not authenticate against the sandbox host and vice versa.
api_keys:
  self_service: false
  notes: >-
    Sandbox access is gated: keys are granted after the support team approves the
    signup. Keys are then created/revoked in the admin portal ("Create API Key").
test_values:
  published: false
  notes: >-
    Rotessa does not publish fixed magic test bank-account numbers, test card values,
    or hosted test tokens in its public docs. Testing is done against the approved
    sandbox account using arbitrary customer/bank data. No verbatim test values to record.
