Sandbox?

Hey,

I’m new to Free Agent, but almost certainly going to move to it to
replace my homegrown cups’n’stickytape billing system.

The API is really promising, I am writing some REST client bits to let
my existing system submit timeslips to FA to help make the transition
clean.

I was wondering if there’s a sandbox or test environment that I can
aim at? Since I’ve already ‘live’ stuff in FA I’m a bit reluctant to
mix my tests with real data.

Regards, l.

Hi Mike,

We’re trying our best to get through a backlog of other work first but
rest assured it’s on the list.

Hi Lemon

We don’t currently have a Sandbox for testing out the API so as Mike
says the best thing to do is to sign up for a Free Trial and play
around with that.

I like the idea of having a Sandbox account though, along the same
lines as our demo accounts.

Hi Lemon,

Create a trial account and use that. Olly might extend it for you for
a short time if you ask nicely :slight_smile:

Otherwise once you’re happy with the API use you own account so you
have realistic data to play with.

Hi Olly,

You know that would be a really great idea. You could use a batch
script to restore the database with fresh data at the end of, say,
every day. And then just let users log in and “fool around” with the
data/api in real time.

Best,

Hi Olly,

I figured that was the case :slight_smile: You’re doing a great job, FAC is
maturing nicely. I just wanted to make sure you hadn’t forgotten :slight_smile:
