Environments
From the dashboard, you can create two different types of API keys that correspond to two distinct environments:
Sandbox
environment
Build out your end-to-end UX safely using test credentials
Production
environment
Launch your new UX confidently using isolated live credentials
Connector Scoping
Connectors are scoped to Environment and cannot be moved between environments once created. Both Sandbox and Production environments include unlimited Connections and unlimited API calls. All testing should be done in the Sandbox environment.
