We provide a wide range of fully compliant APIs, along with dynamic test data to help you build powerful and innovative applications faster.</p><h3 id=\"what-is-an-api-sandbox\">What is an API Sandbox?</h3><p>Our Sandbox allows developers to imitate the characteristics of a production environment in a dedicated testing environment. It mirrors production without using production data. Developers can call sandbox APIs and use the responses to build their applications and test scenarios before integrating with the real system.</p><p>You can modify and add other products as needed. Every time you create a new portal application, you will receive a consumer key and consumer secret to access the DLR Sandbox Environment.</p><h3 id=\"benefits-of-our-sandbox\">Benefits of our Sandbox</h3><p>In addition to testing and simulating APIs, the sandbox environment:</p><ul><li>Provides basic components for common tasks so you can focus on the unique parts of your application.</li><li>Supports continuous simulation for Digital Realty or Interxion customers.</li><li>Allows developers to perform System Integration Testing (SIT) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).</li><li>Helps identify API incompatibilities during product development.</li><li>Allows developers to perform various tests with DLR APIs.</li></ul><p>To experience these benefits, register through the portal and follow the registration flow before using the API sandbox.</p><h2 id=\"production-environment\">Production Environment</h2><p>Production is our secure, permanent environment for customers running APIs with live data. It allows you to order DLR services and monitor your physical data center environments in real time.</p><p>When you are ready to move your applications into production, contact the DLR API team through the Developer Portal for assistance.</p>","publishedAt":"2026-09-30T09:29:03.000+00:00","updatedAt":"2026-09-30T09:29:03.000+00:00","audience":"external"}
