What’s different about the sandbox?
- You can freely add fake credits to your account for testing
- You can trigger the "completion" of your translation jobs (i.e. be a faux translator) so that you can test what your code does in response
- You can manually trigger job status changes and other actions, so that you can test your callbacks
- The sandbox jobs database is occasionally be wiped clean to prepare it for new features - you should not rely on it for permanent storage
How to use the sandbox
- Read the developer API documentation
- Create a sandbox account
- Sign in and generate a set of sandbox API keys
- Order test jobs, using
http://api.sandbox.gengo.com/v2/as the base call URL - Once you're ready to deploy, create a live user account, generate a set of live API keys - and remember to paste them into your app
