Namify provides two fully isolated environments. Same API surface, same endpoints, same response shapes. The only differences are real-world impact and billing.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| Base URL | https://dev.namify.host/api/v1 |
| Key prefix | nk_test_* |
| Billing | No charges. All transactions succeed without debiting your account. |
| Registrations | Simulated. Nothing is submitted to ICANN or any registry. |
| Availability | Most standard TLDs return as available. |
| Webhooks | Fire normally. Test your integration end-to-end. |
| Data retention | Purged every 24hrs. Do not rely on sandbox for persistence. |
| Pre-funded | Sandbox accounts come with simulated credit. No setup required. |
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| Base URL | https://namify.host/api/v1 |
| Key prefix | nk_live_* |
| Billing | Real charges. Invoiced monthly or per-transaction based on your commercial terms. |
| Registrations | Live ICANN registrations. Domains are active on the internet. |
| Webhooks | Fire normally. |
Swap two environment variables. No code changes:
# Sandbox
NAMIFY_BASE_URL=https://dev.namify.host/api/v1
NAMIFY_API_KEY=nk_test_...
# Production
NAMIFY_BASE_URL=https://namify.host/api/v1
NAMIFY_API_KEY=nk_live_...
Build and test against sandbox. When your integration passes the Go-Live Checklist, swap in production credentials. The API behavior is identical the only change is that domains become real and billing begins.
