Connecting to the sandbox

Getting access to the Sandbox API

The authorization method remains consistent across both Sandbox and Production environment. As the Sandbox environment operates independently, it requires a separate set of certificates. These will be provided during the onboarding process.

Your Sandbox environment will be configured with a company group structure consisting of two companies and various account types.

Best practices

The Sandbox environment serves as an integration testing platform. Prior to transitioning to the Production environment, we will conduct a thorough review of your integration to ensure alignment with best practices. To optimize performance, please adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Access tokens should only be renewed upon session expiration, not with each request. Token renewal is necessary when a session extends beyond the token's 300-second lifespan
  • Minimize unnecessary data requests. For real-time data synchronization, we recommend implementing webhook notifications
