Sandbox

The sandbox runs the same API with test keys (crp_test_...) at https://sandbox.api.creatorain.com/v1. Nothing there costs money, and no real creator is contacted.

What is different

Fixtures only. Test keys read fixture creators, never real ones. Fixture emails end in sandbox.invalid.
Your own sandbox. Each workspace gets its own sandbox campaign. No other client’s data mixes in.
A fast clock. A simulator moves each store through matched, booked, visited, posted and billed in minutes.
Same shapes. The rows, ledger entries and webhooks look like live ones, with livemode: false.

Sandbox-only calls

Test keys only. A live key gets 404.

POST /v1/sandbox/top_ups: add test money.
POST /v1/sandbox/locations/{id}/advance: move a store to a later state.
POST /v1/sandbox/scenarios: force a case, such as no_show, video_taken_down, balance_low or top_up_failed.
POST /v1/sandbox/clock: change the clock mode.
POST /v1/sandbox/reset: start over.

The console

The API console will send requests to the sandbox only, with test keys. Try-it never reaches a live host.
