Glossary: SandboxGlossary

A sandbox is an isolated environment where code can be executed safely, without affecting the system or real data. Sandboxes are used to test, run, and analyze code in a way that limits its potential impact on the wider system and data, allowing developers to learn and experiment without having adverse effects on systems, applications, or data that people and organizations rely on.

Some APIs provide a sandbox environment — a testing environment that acts like the production environment but is isolated and controlled and uses dummy data. This allows developers to safely experiment, test, and integrate with the API without affecting the live data or system.
