The Powerly Developer Sandbox is a safe testing environment that allows developers to experiment with API endpoints, simulate workflows, and validate integrations without affecting live systems. It replicates most production behavior while isolating data and access.
What You Can Do in the Sandbox #
- Simulate charger registration, sessions, and status changes
- Test API calls for users, fleets, orders, and feedback
- Validate authentication flows and webhook responses
- Review API errors, rate limits, and expected behaviors
- Test app builder prompts using a non-production API key
How to Access the Sandbox #
- Register a Powerly developer account at dashboard.powerly.app
- Navigate to Tools → API and generate a sandbox API key
- Use that key in your API requests, app builder prompts, or integrations
All API calls using a sandbox key are routed to Powerly’s test environment and will not affect real data or billing
Endpoint Behavior in the Sandbox #
- Most endpoints behave identically to production
- Transactions are simulated, no real payment is processed
- Charger data, user accounts, and site configurations are isolated
- Sandbox environment may include preloaded test data
Best Practices
#
- Use separate API keys for sandbox and production environments
- Clearly label sandbox apps and dashboards to avoid confusion
- Do not rely on sandbox for long-term data storage
- Always transition tested workflows to production after validation
