How it works

You can find the dedicated documentation for the Sandbox here. The best way to use the Sandbox is with the client libraries. Today, the Javascipt and Python library have support for the sandbox. The Java and C# libraries will offer the same capabilities soon.

Essentially, all you have to do is require the IOTA sandbox https://sandbox.iotatoken.com/api/v1/ as the provider.

// Create IOTA instance with sandbox as provider

var iota = new IOTA({

'provider' : 'https://sandbox.iotatoken.com/api/v1/',

'sandbox' : true,

'token' : 'EXAMPLE-TOKEN-HERE'

});

Currently, we have no automated way of getting API tokens / keys. Because of that you are required to either reach out to me (Dom) on Slack, or send the foundation an email in order to get a token.

It should be noted that the Sandbox should not be used for the GUI wallet.
