​
Overview

The Development environment is a sandbox designed for building and testing your Bindbee integrations. It is intended strictly for non-production use and is completely isolated from the Production environment.
The Development environment allows unrestricted testing without impacting live production data.

​
Development API Key

Your Development API key (dev_api_key) is used exclusively to access the Development environment. It cannot be used to access the Production environment.
Development API keys should only be used for testing and should never be used in production applications.

​
Sharing Development Keys

Development API keys are intended for testing purposes only and can be safely shared within your team for development and testing workflows.

​
Authentication

When making requests to the Bindbee API in the Development environment, include your Development API key in the Authorization header using the Bearer prefix: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_DEV_API_KEY

​
Connector Behavior

​
Sync Configuration

Connectors created using Development API keys do not resync automatically. You can trigger syncs either programmatically or manually via the dashboard.
Unlike Production connectors, syncs are not automated for Development connectors. You must trigger syncs manually or programmatically to fetch updated data.

​
Connector Limits

There is no limit on the number of connectors you can create in the Development environment, allowing you to test multiple integrations without restrictions.

​
Managing Your Development API Key

You can view and regenerate your Development API key from the API Keys section of your Bindbee dashboard: https://app.bindbee.dev/settings/keys Development API Keys

​
Environment Isolation

The Development and Production environments are completely isolated:
  • Development API keys only access Development data
  • Production API keys only access Production data
  • Connectors and data do not transfer between environments
