Innovative Sandbox Set-up

If you are using Innovative’s sandbox server to develop your integration, follow these steps:

1. Obtain a sandbox API key from Innovative by sending a request to vendorsupport@iii.com. Once your request is approved, you will receive an email with instructions for completing your registration. The appropriate login, fund, vendor code, and library locations will be assigned to you.
   

   After obtaining your API key and secret, store them securely for future reference.

2. The following table has the information you need to access the acquisitions endpoints on the sandbox server as well as test data you can use for the required parameters:
