Sandbox

The Monirates sandbox environment lets you integrate and test the API safely. All transactions in sandbox are simulated and carry no real-world value — no actual money moves.

​
Getting a Sandbox API Key

  1. Visit the sandbox portal at dev.business.monirates.com.
  2. Sign up or log in to your account.
  3. Navigate to the Developer section of your dashboard.
  4. Create or copy your sandbox API key.
Keep your sandbox API key secure. Never commit it to version control — use environment variables instead.

​
Sandbox Base URL

All sandbox requests go to: 
https://dev.interface.monirates.com
Pass your sandbox API key in the x-api-key header, same as production.

​
Example Request

curl https://dev.interface.monirates.com/your-endpoint \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_SANDBOX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Transitioning to Production

When you’re ready to go live:
  1. Log in to the production portal at business.monirates.com.
  2. Generate your production API key from the Developer section.
  3. Update your environment variables to use the production key.
  4. Switch your base URL to https://interface.monirates.com.
  5. Start with small live transactions to verify everything works before scaling volume.
Never use your sandbox API key in production or your production key for sandbox testing. Keys are environment-specific and are not interchangeable.
