Sandbox mode

You can learn to use the API safely with sandbox mode.

In sandbox mode, endpoints will validate the data you send with the request as normal, but will:

return stable, canned responses that you can build reliable integration tests around
do not process real personal data
do not send any real emails or text messages
are not billable

[See how different endpoints behave] in sandbox mode.

Activate sandbox mode

Go to API integration and create a sandbox client secret. It will start with sandbox-.

Then, you can call the API in exactly the same way.

Sandbox mode responses don’t correspond to real lookups, verifications or alerts on your dashboard.

If you want to experiment with real data or match rates, you should use live mode.
