Test mode is an isolated environment in your account. Every endpoint works, and test data never mixes with live data. The secret key sets the mode; the endpoints are the same, and every response carries live_mode. Test mode is billed like live mode and has the same rate limits.

Test OEM

Devices come from Connect; the API does not create them. In test mode, create the Connect session with the test OEM oem_6a3a8dada72cd0a249ff9528, which simulates an OEM and its devices. Its storage devices declare location metering, so list location meter records returns records for their locations. The quickstart runs the whole loop against the test OEM: create a program, connect a device, read its state, commit it to a VPP event and read the meter records.

Test VPP events

Set event_type to TEST on a VPP event you create while testing. A TEST event runs the full dispatch chain and does not affect settlement.

Events and webhooks

Every event carries live_mode, and test events are signed with a separate key, so one endpoint can take both modes. See webhooks.
