# Environments (Sandbox / Production)

### 🔸 Environment URLs

| Environment    | Base URL                            | Description                             |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **Sandbox**    | `https://api.sandbox.falco-app.be/` | Use for testing and initial integration |
| **Production** | `https://api.falco-app.be/`         | Live data and Peppol deliveries         |

***

### 🧪 Automatic sandbox setup

When you create an application:

* A **sandbox environment** is automatically generated
* A **test API key** is provided, linked to a dummy organization
* You can start testing API calls immediately — no manual setup needed

***

### 🔐 Sandbox request example

```http
GET https://api.sandbox.falco-app.be/v1/invoices
X-Falco-App-Secret: as_test_abc123
X-Falco-Api-Key: sk_test_456def
```
