The sandbox simulates the full canonical surface across every device type: batteries, EV chargers, HVAC, solar inverters, and vehicles. Build and test integrations without managing OEM credentials, real homeowners, or live grid risk.

Request sandbox access

Submit the form and sandbox keys land within one business day.

​
What you get

  • A sandbox API key with the sk_test_ prefix that routes to the sandbox environment at https://api.amps.ai
  • Pre-provisioned simulated devices across all five DER categories (battery, EV charger, HVAC, solar inverter, vehicle)
  • The full canonical surface: pull device state, push actions, receive webhooks
  • UTC-driven simulations that follow realistic time-of-day patterns, so the data you see during integration testing reflects how live devices behave

​
What it costs you

Nothing. Sandbox access is free during development. You only need a live key once you are integrating against real devices, and live keys come with their own onboarding.

​
What is next

Once your sandbox key arrives, follow the quickstart to make your first API call. The same code works against the live environment when you are ready: swap your sk_test_ key for an sk_live_ key, with the host unchanged.
