Is it possible to test the Rest APIs in a staging or test environment?

  • At present, Resilinc does not provide a separate staging or test environment for API testing. 
  • All API interactions, including writeback functionality, are supported only in the production environment. 
  • Separate credentials for non-production testing are not provided.

Key Points to Understand:

  • Single environment: API calls are executed directly against the production system. There is no sandbox or non‑production environment available.
  • Credentials: Separate credentials for testing purposes are not issued. Users must use their production credentials to authenticate API requests.
  • Impact of writeback: Since writeback operations affect live data, users should exercise caution when testing or experimenting with APIs to avoid unintended changes.
  • Best practice: If testing is required, it is recommended to use non‑critical or sample records in production to validate API behavior without impacting key business data.
  • Monitoring: Ensure that API usage is monitored closely during testing to track any changes and confirm expected outcomes

Recommendation:

  • Organizations should plan API testing carefully within production, ideally with support from their Resilinc administrator or technical team, to minimize risk and ensure data integrity.
