Sandbox Mode
Test your integration without using credits
Sandbox mode lets you test your integration without consuming credits or making real DVS requests.
How It Works
- Use a sandbox API key (prefix:
sk_sandbox_*) - Send requests to the same endpoints
- Receive simulated responses
- No credits are deducted
Test Identities
These identities always return a successful match:
| Given Name | Family Name | Date of Birth |
|---|---|---|
| John | Smith | 1990-01-15 |
| Jane | Doe | 1985-06-20 |
| Test | User | 2000-01-01 |
Special Test Cases
Use these family names to simulate specific responses:
| Family Name | Response Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
test_success | Y | Document verified - match |
test_nomatch | N | Document not verified - no match |
test_notfound | D | Document not found in registry |
test_error | E | System error (with 5s delay) |
