description: >-
  Seismic publishes a separate sandbox DOMAIN for testing changes before public release. It does not
  publish self-serve test credentials, test key prefixes, fixture data, or a hosted console — access
  is through a real tenant, so the sandbox is an environment, not a public playground.
environments:
- name: production
  base_url: https://api.seismic.com/
- name: sandbox
  base_url: https://api-sandbox.seismic.com

  http_status: 404
  probe_note: >-
    The host answers on TLS and returns the Seismic API gateway's own JSON 404 envelope
    ({ "statusCode": 404, "message": "Resource not found" }) for an unrouted path — evidence the
    host is live and is a Seismic API gateway, not that a resource is missing.
test_credentials:
  published: false
  note: >-
    No test API keys, no test-vs-live key prefixes, no sandbox self-signup. Tokens for either
    environment come from https://auth.seismic.com against a provisioned tenant.
test_data:
  fixtures: false
  time_simulation: false
  triggers: false
console:
  hosted_try_it: true
  detail: >-
    The ReadMe-hosted API reference renders a Try It panel per operation, and Seismic documents a
    Postman OAuth2 flow for obtaining a token
    (https://developer.seismic.com/seismicsoftware/reference/get-a-token-using-oauth2-flow-in-postman).
    Both still require real tenant credentials.
rehearsal:
  note: >-
    The closest thing to a dry run on the production surface is previewLiveDocTemplate
    (POST /livedocs/templates/{templateId}/preview) and getLiveDocTemplateInputs.
