sandbox_published: true
model: separate environment (UAT / homolog), not a test-mode flag
note: >-
  Unico ships a full parallel environment rather than a test-mode key prefix. The contract is
  identical — same endpoints, same payloads — and everything is separated at the credential
  level. Self-service signup is not offered: sandbox credentials are provisioned by Unico's
  Onboarding team as part of contracting, so an integrator cannot reach this environment
  without a commercial relationship.

    Documented verbatim as one of the most common causes of 401: sandbox credentials sent to
    production, or the reverse.
test_values_published:
  test_cards: false
  test_documents: false
  test_selfies: false
  test_cpf: false
  note: >-
    No published fixtures. Unico ships no test CPF, no sample selfie set and no canned
    approve/deny identities — an integrator supplies their own images and works with the
    Onboarding team. This is a meaningful gap for an agent: there is no way to exercise the
    contract end-to-end from published material alone.
time_simulation:
  supported: false
historical_simulation:
  name: Backtests
  supported: true
  self_service: false
  transport: SFTP
  url: https://developer.unico.io/resources/backtests
  note: >-
    Historical simulation against past image data in an isolated environment. Access is
    arranged through a sales representative or technical account manager, who issues SFTP
    credentials and a host-key fingerprint. Not an API surface.

  http_status_note: >-
    Cloudflare interactive challenge ("Just a moment...") answered our probe. The console
    demonstrably exists — Unico's own site and product guide link to it — so this is an edge
    policy, not a dead page.
