Sandbox Access for Each Endpoint

Voltus provides a sandbox environment that anyone can use to “kick the tires” and get started on an integration. The sandbox capabilities vary by endpoint and by integration type.

GET Dispatch Sandbox

Use the sandbox API (https://sandbox.voltus.co/) and sample credentials (API key = secret) to retrieve a static list of dispatches. You can use this while developing your integration to ensure you are authenticating and parsing responses correctly.

Dispatch Webhook Sandbox

Use the sandbox API (https://sandbox.voltus.co/) and sample credentials (API key = secret) to see a sample webhook. When you create a webhook in the sandbox environment, it will respond with “correct request” but won’t create a webhook since the sandbox environment is read-only. We do not provide the ability to trigger webhooks (send a dispatch to the webhook) in the sandbox at this time.

POST Telemetry Sandbox

Use the sandbox API (https://sandbox.voltus.co/) and sample credentials (API key = secret) to send Voltus your telemetry data (aka energy usage data or interval data). When you hit POST Telemetry in the sandbox, the endpoint will say “correct request” but it will not save the telemetry data. You can use endpoint this while developing your integration to ensure you are authenticating and submitting data correctly.

OADR Dispatch Sandbox

Connect to the sandbox VTN (https://sandbox-vtn.voltus.co/sandbox/OpenADR2/Simple/). There is no authentication required. Send an email to your account manager to schedule an integration test dispatch event to ensure you are parsing responses correctly.
