Sandbox testing

The test area for your API code

What’s different about the sandbox?

• Add free credits to your account for testing

• Trigger the “completion” of your translation jobs (i.e. be a faux translator) so that you can test what your code does in response

• Manually toggle between job states (e.g. pending to reviewable) and other actions without triggering callbacks

• Test callbacks by clicking the Send Callback button

Note: The sandbox jobs database may occasionally be wiped clean to prepare it for new features so you should not rely on the sandbox for permanent storage.

How to use the sandbox

• Read the developer documentation

• Create a sandbox account

• Log in and generate a set of sandbox API keys

• Test your app, using http://api.sandbox.gengo.com/v2/ as the base call URL
