How do I access the API sandbox?

Updated: 2025/07/09Viewed times: 2174
Check it out – we've launched an API sandbox! It's a fun public testing environment for our API. That means when you make API Sandbox calls, there's zero worry about generating transactions, costs, or domain creations. We're here to make integrating our API a breeze for our customers!

To access the API sandbox, please follow these steps:
  1. Sign in to your Dynadot account.
  2. Select "Tools" from the left-side menu bar and click "API" in the drop-down list.
  3. Unlock your account using the link provided.
  4. Under "API Sandbox Key" section, enter your account password in the provided field and click the "Generate New Key" button.
  5. It should now say "API Sandbox Enabled" above the password field.
  6. Enter your password above again and click "Get Key".
  7. Your API Sandbox key will be listed right under the "API Sandbox Key Enabled" section header.
  8. Now you are able to copy this key in your code then start! (please wait for around 20 minutes for the key's propagation before test)
  9. Finally, please don't forget to re-lock your account!

To start using API Sandbox commands, please note that only commands with pink tag "Support API Sandbox" in the list are available. And it uses a different URL from production:https://api-sandbox.dynadot.com . Then you can copy and paste the sandbox request, replacing the key with your account's API Sandbox key.
