note: >-
  wger has no test-mode/live-mode split and no test credentials — there is
  nothing to charge, so there are no test cards, no key prefixes, and no
  fixture triggers. What it does publish is stronger for a read-heavy API: an
  anonymous, no-signup live surface plus two interactive consoles served by the
  API itself, and a full local instance anyone can stand up from a container in
  minutes. Every value below was probed on 2026-08-27; none is invented.

      Generated by drf-spectacular from the same schema saved in
      openapi/wger-openapi.yml. Lets a caller execute requests in the browser.

    description: >-
      The API root returns a JSON index of every collection to a JSON client and
      renders DRF's browsable HTML form view in a browser. The .api URL suffix
      forces the HTML view on any endpoint.
anonymous_playground:
  exists: true
  description: >-
    The community reference data is callable with no account and no key, which
    makes it a real zero-friction playground rather than a demo.

guest_account:
  exists: true
  path: /en/user/demo-entries
  description: >-
    wger ships a demo/guest-account flow that populates an account with sample
    workout, nutrition and weight entries so the app can be explored with data.
  source: https://github.com/wger-project/wger/blob/master/wger/core/urls.py
  caveat: >-
    URL confirmed present in the project's own URL configuration; the page
    itself could not be rendered from here because wger.de fronts all HTML with
    an Anubis bot-check interstitial (HTTP 200 challenge page on every HTML
    path, including nonexistent ones).
local_instance:
  supported: true
  description: >-
    The honest full-fidelity sandbox for wger is a local instance — same code,
    same schema, throwaway data, no rate limits you share with anyone.
  quickstart:
    - docker compose stack — https://github.com/wger-project/docker
    - helm chart — https://github.com/wger-project/helm-charts
    - 'pip: wger bootstrap && wger start'
  fixtures:
    - command: wger load-fixtures
