Whisk Sandbox

When you create a new account, you'll receive a key for our Whisk API sandbox called the Test Kitchen.

The Test Kitchen API is similar to the same ones you'd find in production. This sandbox is designed to help get you started with all of the API's features. However, it's important to know that there are some limitations imposed on Test Kitchen. Here are the key differences to be aware of between the sandbox and production APIs:
