Test mode & sandbox
Every organization has a sandbox with its own data. There you try everything with test keys, without touching real records.
live and test
| test | live | |
|---|---|---|
| Prefix | bodo_uk_test_ · bodo_sa_test_ | bodo_uk_live_ · bodo_sa_live_ |
| Valid in | the sandbox of your organization | the production organization |
| Data | test data of the sandbox | real records |
| Try it in the portal | yes | no, the gateway rejects it |
A test key never reaches the production organization and vice versa. Limits, errors, webhooks and versions behave the same in both.
What is already on in the sandbox
- Once the Public API module is enabled for your organization, it is enabled for its sandbox too.
- The API level of the sandbox is then already “on”; you do not need to switch it on there yourself.
- Without the module the sandbox answers 403 API_MODULE_DISABLED as well.
How to use it
- Open the sandbox in Bodo (organization menu, “Show sandbox”).
- There, create a test key under Settings › Interfaces › API keys.
- Set the key as
BODO_API_KEYand start; every change carries the mark “API” and the chip “Sandbox” in the history.
