description: >-
  Test-vs-live surface published by Thrive Global: a dedicated staging API
  host, an interactive portal playground and Swagger try-it-out (which store
  the issued bearer token in session storage), and a documented default test
  user identity. API keys are environment-specific and issued by Thrive -
  there is no self-serve sandbox signup.
environments:
  - name: production
    base_url: https://partners-api.thriveglobal.com
  - name: staging
    base_url: https://partners-api-stag.thriveglobal.com
    detail: >-
      Staging keys differ from production keys, must use different User IDs,
      and may have access to different content subscriptions (portal FAQ).
tooling:
  playground: https://developers.thriveglobal.com/playground
  swagger_try_it_out: https://developers.thriveglobal.com/swagger
  detail: >-
    The portal Authentication page exchanges your API key for a bearer token
    in the browser (stored as thrive_bearer_token in session storage) and
    generates a copyable Authorization header.
test_identities:
  - name: SmokeTestUser
    detail: >-
      Default userId applied by POST /v1/auth when no userId is supplied
      (documented in the OpenAPI request body).
  - name: 'thrive:developerPortalTest:1709740800'
    detail: Example userId shown in the portal auth and reference pages.
notes:
  - No public test API keys or magic test values are published; keys come
    from your Thrive Global contact.
