Sandbox

Learn how to use the FinImpulse Sandbox environment to test API integration

Sandbox is a testing environment that allows developers to integrate and test the FinImpulse API without incurring charges. 

Sandbox API Token 

To use the Sandbox, a separate API token is required. The Sandbox API token is available in the FinImpulse dashboard, under the API settings tab in API mode. It is a fixed token — it is always visible, cannot be regenerated, and does not support IP whitelisting. 

To send requests to the Sandbox, use the standard API base URL (api.finimpulse.com) and replace the production API token with the Sandbox one. No other changes to the request structure are required. 

Cost and Use Case

Sandbox is available to any registered user at no cost. The primary use case is testing API integration and validating request and response structure without incurring charges on the production account. 

Note that all responses contain dummy data. However, the structure and fields of the Sandbox response are identical to those of the production API response. 

Rate limits in the Sandbox match those of the production environment: 60 requests per minute for accounts on the free tier, and 2,000 requests per minute after the first payment.
