Sandbox and test keys

A test key (ck_test_…) calls the same API at the same address, but as your company's sandbox tenant: a separate organization id that owns nothing live. Your company's orders are not visible to it; public catalogue and supplier data are the same as for a live key.

  • Test keys never transact: the identity gate sees no verified issuer.
  • GET /api/v1/status answers "mode": "test" and the sandbox organization id.
  • Rate: 60 calls a minute.
  • Marketplace APIs: a test key with the API's scope reaches the provider's sandbox URL (if it offers one), is not billed and is outside your quota.
