Getting Started
Learn how to get started with Authenticate Sandbox
Base URL for sandbox API: https://sandbox-api.authenticate.com
Example: Create User API -https://sandbox-api.authenticate.com/user/create
How to use sandbox API
To use the Authenticate API in sandbox, replace the production base URL with the sandbox base URL. All API endpoints and paths remain exactly the same — only the base URL changes.
What happens after I request access?
Once your request is processed, Authenticate creates a sandbox company for you and applies $100 in testing credit automatically. You'll then see an environment toggle at the top of the portal to move between Sandbox and Production.
How do I switch between Sandbox and Production?
Click the environment indicator in the top-right corner of the portal and select Sandbox from the dropdown. An environment badge appears throughout the portal, on PDF reports, and in the Medallion UI, so you always know which environment you're in. Switch back to Production the same way.
Where do I find my sandbox API key?
Sandbox API keys are clearly labeled (for example, "Sandbox API Key") so they're never confused with production credentials. Use the sandbox key for test integrations and your production key only in production.
