# Developer Sandbox

This guide will help you get started using Oyster's developer sandbox.

We offer developer sandboxes with some seed data to use for integration development. To request a developer sandbox account, use our sandbox request form at <https://sandbox.oysterhr.com/request_account>.

To use the developer sandbox API, you will follow the same instructions in the guide to creating and authorizing a Developer Application (see here for the [Partner guide](https://docs.oysterhr.com/docs/partner-guide-to-creating-and-authorizing-a-developer-application) and here for the [Customer guide](https://docs.oysterhr.com/docs/customer-guide-to-creating-and-authorizing-a-developer-application)) but use the following sandbox URLs:

* For token generation - <https://api-sandbox.oysterhr.com/oauth2/token>
* For all other API calls - [https://api-sandbox.oysterhr.com](https://api-sandbox.oysterhr.com/)

Note: Once you are ready to use your integration, make sure to create a production developer application and generate production tokens in the production environment (see here for the [Partner guide](https://docs.oysterhr.com/docs/partner-guide-to-creating-and-authorizing-a-developer-application) and here for the [Customer guide](https://docs.oysterhr.com/docs/customer-guide-to-creating-and-authorizing-a-developer-application)). You will then need to change the paths for your requests in your integration from the sandbox environment to the production paths.
