SDK Usage

To access the Sandbox API endpoints within our SDKs, use any of the following language-specific strategies:

# Set sandbox to True when creating a client
CLIENT = PDLPY(
    api_key="YOUR API KEY",
    # Use Sandbox API
    sandbox=True,
)
// Set sandbox to true in the parameters JSON object
const params = {
  email: "[email protected]",
  min_likelihood: 6,
  // Use Sandbox API
  sandbox: true
}
# Use Sandbox API
Peopledatalabs.sandbox = true
// Include extra imports
import (
    pdl "github.com/peopledatalabs/peopledatalabs-go"
    "github.com/peopledatalabs/peopledatalabs-go/api"
    pdlmodel "github.com/peopledatalabs/peopledatalabs-go/model"
)

// Set Sandbox to true in ClientOptions() when creating a client
client := pdl.New(apiKey,
                      api.ClientOptions(func(c *api.Client) {
                                    c.Sandbox = true
                      }))

See Sandbox examples for specific usage.
