Environments
TEO runs three logical environments per account. The key prefix tells you which.
Sandbox (test)
Keys prefixed with tfp_test_ route to the sandbox. The sandbox uses a fixed set of fixture providers, so requests return quickly and deterministically but do not represent real availability or pricing.
Production (live)
Keys prefixed with tfp_live_ route to live provider integrations. Cache TTLs are short, results are billable, and any side effects (booking) are real.
Service
Keys prefixed with tfp_svc_ are for backend jobs that don't originate from a single user agent (cron, batch workers). They bypass the per-user rate limit and consume the account's pool instead.
Switching environments
The environment is encoded in the key. To switch, use a different key. Don't change the URL — the same API base serves all three.
