Sandbox Environment

Build and test against a sandbox account. Sandbox is a separate account with its own UUID and its own API keys, and the environment is fixed at the account level, so you cannot switch an existing key between live and sandbox with a parameter or header. Both share the same base URL, so the account behind your key is what determines which environment you are in. GET /v1/account returns an environment field of live or sandbox, and that is the authoritative answer.

Calls on a sandbox key are not billed. Every endpoint, response shape, error envelope, idempotency and rate-limit behaviour mirrors live, so the only change when you move to production should be the credentials. Sandbox accounts are provisioned by your Global Data account manager.

Practical Applications

Technical Use Cases tag

edit

Propagating changes from your system of record

Push corrections and changes of circumstance into WatchEye as they happen, so screening runs against current details, not the details captured at onboarding.

rule

Status and lifecycle management

Change status fields as a matter progresses. A status change is not a deletion, so the record stays fully visible through the API.

history

Keeping the audit trail intact

Every update is written to the account audit log, so the change history is available without you maintaining a parallel record of it.

Trust & Assurance

Compliance & Security tag

Enterprise-grade infrastructure audited against the standards your regulators require.

help_center General

Is this call billed?

add

Yes. This is a chargeable endpoint, and the fee is billed to your account at the time of the request. Your rates are set per account and confirmed by your Global Data account manager.

If your balance reaches zero or an agreed call limit is reached, further chargeable requests return 402 Payment Required until the account is topped up. Calls made with a key on a sandbox account are never charged.

rocket_launch Implementation

What are the rate limits?

add

600 requests per minute by default, enforced with a 60-second fixed window. Every response carries X-RateLimit-Limit and X-RateLimit-Remaining.

Exceeding the limit returns 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header giving the number of seconds to wait, and X-RateLimit-Reset giving the reset timestamp. Schedule retries from Retry-After instead of a fixed sleep, and slow down before you hit zero, not after.

Higher limits can be arranged case by case through WatchEye support.
