Partner sandbox - Case Management API

The sandbox is a separate incaseof.law environment for building and testing your integration. It runs the same API as production: the same endpoints, validation, rate limits and webhooks. What it never does is contact a real person or a court.

Base URL and keys

	Sandbox	Production
Base URL	`https://ico-app-staging.up.railway.app`	`https://service.incaseof.law`
Paths	`/openapi/…` — identical	`/openapi/…`
Key	a sandbox key, issued by the incaseof.law team on request	your production key

A sandbox key works only against the sandbox, a production key only against production. Keys look the same (ico_live_…) — keep them apart in your configuration. The sandbox receives every change before production does, so it is always on the same or a newer version of the API.

What happens instead of real communication

Channel	In the sandbox
E-mails (portal invitations, notices, login codes)	Sent only to incaseof.law addresses and to test addresses agreed with us. Every other recipient is dropped — the API answers exactly as if the e-mail had been sent.
SMS	Not sent.
Letters	Simulated — nothing is printed or posted.
Court steps	Taken only by the incaseof.law team; in the sandbox they go to the ERV test system, not to a court.
Webhooks	Delivered to the endpoint configured for your sandbox webhook, exactly as in production.

Claims move through the collection stages as in production. To test your webhook handler for a particular stage, ask the incaseof.law team to move a test claim to it.

Test data only

Use invented data only — no real debtors, customers, addresses or bank details.
The sandbox database is shared with incaseof.law’s own testing; do not rely on the data of other test cases.

Resets

incaseof.law may reset the sandbox at any time. We announce a reset at least two working days in advance.
You can ask for your own sandbox data to be deleted at any time — write to [email protected].

Going live

When your integration works in the sandbox, switch the base URL to https://service.incaseof.law and use your production key. Nothing else changes.
