The Real World certification is given for an API provider (vendor or CSP) for an API implementation that passed the certification test kit (CTK) when running in a real CSP production environment. The CSP owner needs to give written approval that the test was done in such an environment.

Subject: what's the differnce between TMF "Open API" and TMF "Real World Open API"
found this on the API conformance page:
"Real World Open API" doesn't exist anywhere else on TMF website, community, Inform, jira, wiki...
could it mean that these companies use Open APIs in the real world aka production? and other certified companies just pass the conformance test but don't use the Open API.
Any thoughts?
