# The sandbox

> A sandbox tenant refuses API keys and webhook endpoints, so its data never leaves andteam.

A sandbox tenant is a copy of andteam for trying things: configuring, training, rehearsing a
rollout. Its people are not real, and **its data never leaves andteam**.

So a sandbox tenant refuses to create:

* **API keys.** Creating one answers: *This is a sandbox, so API keys are not created here.*
* **Webhook endpoints.** No event is delivered from a sandbox.

Keys are `atk_live_` keys, for live tenants only.

## Trying an integration before go-live

To rehearse against the shape of the API, read the [API reference](https://docs.andteam.com/api-reference/directory/list-employees.md) and
the examples on this site, which show real responses and real errors. Build and test your receiver
against them, including [webhook verification](https://docs.andteam.com/guides/webhooks.md), which needs no andteam account to run.
Then ask the tenant's administrator for a key with only the groups the integration needs, and run
it against the live tenant read-only: the API cannot change anything.
