Sandbox Environment

The sandbox environment provides a production-like testing environment where you can safely develop and test your integration. The availability of the sandbox environment is at the discretion of Zodia Markets.

Before starting development, request a sandbox account by contacting your relationship manager or emailing [email protected]. Provide:

Your company name
Primary contact information
Intended use case
Expected integration timeline

Sandbox Base URLs

REST API:

UK Entity: `https://trade-uk.sandbox.zodiamarkets.com
AME Entity: `https://trade-ame.sandbox.zodiamarkets.com

WebSocket API:

UK Entity: wss://trade-uk.sandbox.zodiamarkets.com
AME Entity: wss://trade-ame.sandbox.zodiamarkets.com

Important Considerations

⚠️
Maintenance Windows
The sandbox environment undergoes regular maintenance throughout the week and availability is at the sole discretion of Zodia Markets. Please contact [email protected] or your Relationship Manager if a sustained testing window is required.

⚠️
Data Resets
Sandbox data may be reset periodically. Do not rely on sandbox data persisting indefinitely.

⚠️
Rate Limits
Sandbox rate limits are lower than production to ensure fair resource allocation among testing clients.

Production Environment

Once your production account is approved and activated, you'll receive separate production credentials to access live trading.

Contact your Relationship Manager to begin the production onboarding process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use the same API credentials in sandbox and production?
A: No. Sandbox and production use separate credentials for security. Never use production credentials in sandbox or vice versa.

Q: How long does sandbox account provisioning take?
A: Typically 1-2 business days after requesting access.

Q: Will my sandbox data persist?
A: Sandbox data may be reset periodically.

Q: What's the difference between UK and AME entities?
A: Entity assignment is based on your jurisdiction and regulatory requirements. Your Relationship Manager will confirm which entity serves your organization.

Q: Can I test with real money in sandbox?
A: No. Sandbox uses only simulated funds. All testing with real funds must occur in production.

Q: How do I know if my sandbox testing is complete?
A: Your Relationship Manager will help assess readiness for production.
