name: Talkwalker demo access token
model: shared-demo-token
detail: >-
  Talkwalker does not run a separate sandbox host or a test/live key-pair scheme. It publishes ONE
  shared demo credential that works against the production host and returns a deliberately narrowed
  slice of production data. There is no test-mode/live-mode toggle, no per-developer test key, and no
  fixture or time-simulation tooling.
test_credential:
  parameter: access_token
  value: demo
  usage: https://api.talkwalker.com/api/v1/search/results?q=cats&access_token=demo
  verbatim: 'To try the Talkwalker API, you can use the access token demo (access_token=demo).'
allowed_surfaces:
  - Search API (results)
  - Search API > Histogram API
  - Streaming API
constraints:
  allowed_queries:
    - cats
    - dogs
    - cats AND dogs
  allowed_queries_note: >-
    The demo token accepts only these three pre-defined queries; any other query is rejected.
  data_coverage: >-
    No social media results are returned with the demo token — only blogs, forums and news.
  scope: Testing only. Project-scoped endpoints, imports, streams and resources require a real token.
production_credential:
  process: Contact Talkwalker to apply for an access token; there is no self-service issuance.

  verdict: empty
  note: >-
    The portal ships a page titled "Developer sandbox" that renders no content — the only text in the
    document is the heading. Recorded as probed-and-empty rather than as a sandbox surface.
