API Sandbox

An API sandbox is a testing environment that mimics a production API without accessing live data or incurring production costs. Sandboxes return mock or sample responses, allowing developers to build and test integrations before subscribing to a paid plan.

Sandbox environments are useful for testing error handling - you can deliberately trigger 401, 404, and 429 responses to verify your code handles them correctly without consuming production quota.

Testing against a sandbox before going live reduces the risk of discovering bugs in production and avoids wasting API quota on broken requests while iterating on your integration code.
