How do I use the OpusDNS sandbox to test the API?

Using the OpusDNS Sandbox for API Testing

 

The OpusDNS Sandbox is a completely separate environment where you can safely test our API and dashboard at no cost and with zero risk. It’s ideal for integrating your system with OpusDNS and experimenting with features before using the live production environment. (Learn more)

1. Creating a Sandbox Account

You can create a free OpusDNS sandbox account by registering at app.sandbox.opusdns.com/signup.

Once registered, you will have access to a sandbox dashboard at app.sandbox.opusdns.com which is similar to the production system (app.opusdns.com) and operates entirely within the isolated sandbox environment.

2. Accessing the Sandbox Dashboard

Your sandbox dashboard at app.sandbox.opusdns.com allows you to:

  • Create an API Key for testing. Please make sure to save your API Key credentials

  • Test API actions such as domain creation and transfers, as well as all associated services

  • Monitor the impact of your API usage

  • Explore the dashboard UI without impacting your actual domain inventory

3. Using the Sandbox API

After registering your sandbox account and generating a sandbox API key, you can refer to our API reference at developers.opusdns.com.

The sandbox and production environments share the same API code base, but differ in the base URL used for API requests.

To ensure your requests are sent to the sandbox environment, use the following base URL (you can also select this URL at the top of the API reference):

https://sandbox.opusdns.com


Since the production and sandbox environments use similar dashboards and the same API, always double-check which system you are working in before performing any action. When using the API, make sure to verify your current base URL to ensure your requests are sent to the sandbox environment.
