Environments
Build and test against staging, then switch both the base URL and API key when you move to production.
Base URLs#
| Environment | Base URL | API key format |
|---|---|---|
| Staging | https://api-stg.vudy.app | vudy_sandbox_<secret> |
| Production | https://api.vudy.app | vudy_production_<secret> |
Key rules#
- Obtain keys from the Vudy dashboard and store them as secrets.
- Staging accepts
vudy_sandbox_…keys. Production acceptsvudy_production_…keys. - A key sent to the wrong host fails authentication with 403.
- Prefixes such as
vudy_stg_…andvudy_prod_…are not valid API key formats.
Related URLs#
Payment request share links use separate request hosts:
| Environment | Request host |
|---|---|
| Staging | https://stg-request.vudy.app |
| Production | https://request.vudy.app |
Use URLs returned by create endpoints rather than constructing share or embed URLs yourself.
Next steps#
- Quickstart — make your first authenticated call
- Authentication — API keys, sessions, and context headers
- Rate limits and maintenance — platform status before user flows
