Use sandbox to verify authentication, request shape, order creation, search reads, and webhook handling before moving to production.

| Environment | Base URL                     |
| ----------- | ---------------------------- |
| Sandbox     | `https://sandbox.theary.com` |
| Production  | `https://api.theary.ai`      |

Contact [support@snh-ai.com](mailto:support@snh-ai.com) for a sandbox Bearer token with your configured **tenant** claim.

## Sandbox differences

* Outbound email, fax, and voice delivery do not contact real employers or schools.
* Webhook delivery is best-effort; production has stronger retry behavior based on `retryAttempts`.
* Use synthetic applicant PII (`123-45-6789`, placeholder emails, test phone numbers).
* Employer and school names do not need to be pre-seeded; use realistic names for request-shape testing.

## Moving to production

When your auth, order payload, search polling, and webhook handler are working, request production credentials. The API paths and payload shapes are the same; switch the base URL to `https://api.theary.ai` and use production webhook endpoints and secrets.
