LimeLM sandbox option for development and testing of APIsAnswered

Hello,

We already have an account with LimeLM and we would like to build an application for auto generation of licenses through LimeLM. Is there an option to have a sandbox created for our LimeLM account for the development and testing of LimeLM APIs?

Thanks

Answer

Hey Tobias,

No, we have no plans to make a sandbox environment for LimeLM. Historically when companies make sandbox environments they quickly get out-of-sync with the “real” version, and begin to have their own divergent behaviors (making them functionally useless as a development environment).

I'd recommend creating a separate user in LimeLM with restricted access (say, the ability to create keys, but not remove them), and have the test environment be a separate product and version. Then, whenever you need to “clear out” these test keys, you can have a user with the appropriate permissions do that.

Does that make sense?

We'd really love to have a staging environment as well. and the solution you propose could work for us, thanks. 
But to make sure that our devs and testers never touch production data, we would need to lock API keys to specific products and/or versions.

(for production that's also a big +)
