The Demand API Sandbox allows you to safely experiment with accommodation and attractions API collections, so you can validate search and availability, and bookings, modifications and cancellations for accommodation orders without affecting live production data.
The Demand API Sandbox is a dedicated, non-production environment designed to validate your integrations using:
- Your regular credentials.
- Sample properties or attractions.
It mirrors the structure of the live production environment allowing you to simulate these flows without affecting real inventory:
| Flow | Supported travel service |
|---|---|
(search, availability, reservation, modifications, and cancellations) | |
|
Car rental API collection is currently not available in sandbox. Use the production environment instead.
All sandbox inventory (accommodations and attractions) use the same authentication details as production, and is designed to simulate different search, booking, payment, and cancellation behaviours.
- No sandbox-specific API keys are required.
- Use your standard API Key token and Affiliate id for your requests.
Always follow best practices to secure your API keys during testing.
- Before using the sandbox environment and test inventory, ensure you meet all the requirements for accessing our endpoints.
- See the Authentication guide for more details.
Use the following base URL for all sandbox requests:
The sandbox environment mirrors the behaviour of the corresponding API version. Make sure the version in the base URL matches the version you are integrating with.
When using the "Try out" console in this developer portal, select the sandbox environment before sending any request:
The sandbox is for testing and discovery purposes only. Using sandbox accommodation or attraction IDs in the production environment will return an error or empty results.
Use the following test accommodation IDs in your requests to experiment with the endpoints. Each property is a mock hotel or apartment created exclusively for testing purposes.
