Sandbox environment for testing

We currently provide two environments: production and sandbox.

Production is the environment used by real, live integrations, but is also the only place the full testing with real hardware (vehicles and EVSEs) can take place.

Sandbox is a test environment that returns dummy data which matches the structure and format of the real API very closely, but does not behave realistically. For example, a GET request to /v2/users/, with sandbox credentials, will return a static list of users, and a GET request to /v2/users/{user_id} will always return the same user, regardless of the ID used.

Both environments are accessed via the same base URL:

https://api.ev.energy/v2/

Whether sandbox or real data is returned is controlled by the type of credentials used. We will provide you with sandbox and production credentials when we set you up with access.
