  Saxo Bank OpenAPI access is provided through two environments: a free
  simulation environment for development and testing, and a live production
  environment requiring an approved application. Market data access beyond
  default forex and bond streams requires separate licensing agreements.
  Pricing for live API access and premium market data feeds is not publicly
  disclosed and must be arranged directly with Saxo Bank.

  - name: Simulation (SIM)
    description: >-
      Free development and testing environment with simulated trading
      infrastructure. Developers can create a demo account immediately on the
      developer portal, obtain a 24-hour access token, and begin building
      against all OpenAPI service groups without production trading risk.
      The SIM environment mirrors production capabilities but uses simulated
      funds and positions.
