Demo credentials

​
Authentication

User registration is disabled in the demo environment. You must use the pre-configured demo account.
The demo provides a pre-configured user account for testing:
  • Auto-login: The demo may automatically log you in when you visit
  • Manual login: If needed, use the demo credentials displayed on the login page
Demo credentials are shown on the site’s login page. Look for the demo account information banner.

​
Database reset policy

The database is restored from a snapshot every 3 hours. All changes you make will be lost after the next reset.
This means:
  • Safe to experiment: Create, edit, and delete items freely
  • No permanent changes: Your changes won’t persist after the reset
  • Fresh demo data: The demo regularly returns to a clean state with sample collections

​
What resets?

  • All user-created items
  • Uploaded photos
  • Tags and custom data
  • Any edits to existing items

​
What doesn’t reset?

  • The demo user account
  • Sample collection items (restored from snapshot)
  • Core data (clubs, seasons, competitions)

​
Limitations

​
Registration disabled

You cannot create new user accounts in the demo. This is intentional to maintain demo stability and prevent abuse.

​
API access

The RESTful API is available in the demo:
  • Swagger UI: /api/docs/ (development only, may not be enabled)
  • OpenAPI Schema: /api/schema/
  • API Endpoints: /api/ for internal APIs
API endpoints require authentication. Use the demo account credentials to obtain an auth token.

​
FKAPI integration

The Football Kit Archive integration may be available in the demo:
  • Search for kits by club, season, and competition
  • Auto-fill item details from the archive
  • Test the kit lookup workflow
FKAPI availability depends on the demo configuration. If FKAPI is not running, you can still manually enter item details.
