# Environments & Base URLs

Hiboo provides two environments for development and production use.

## Sandbox Environment

**Base URL**: `https://api-sandbox.hiboo.io`

The sandbox environment contains generated test data to help you integrate with our API without affecting real equipment data. Use this environment for:

* Initial development and testing
* Integration testing
* Demo applications
* Learning the API structure

**Sample Data Included**:

* 40+ mixed fleet equipment from various manufacturers
* Telemetry data updated hourly
* Test sharing configurations

### Getting Sandbox Access

To request sandbox credentials:

1. **Email**: <support@hiboo.io>
2. **Include**: Your name, company, and intended use case
3. **Response time**: Usually within 24 hours during business days

## Production Environment

**Base URL**: `https://api.hiboo.io`

The production environment contains your actual equipment data and should be used for:

* Live applications
* Customer-facing integrations
* Production data access

### Getting Production Access

On Hiboo App, you can manage and generate API tokens on the [Destination page](https://app.hiboo.io/destinations)

## Important Notes

> ⚠️ **Credentials are not shared between environments**\
> Sandbox and production use completely separate authentication systems.

> 🔒 **HTTPS Required**\
> All API calls must use HTTPS. HTTP requests will be rejected.
