Environments

Namify provides two fully isolated environments. Same API surface, same endpoints, same response shapes. The only differences are real-world impact and billing.

Sandbox

Variable	Description
Base URL	https://dev.namify.host/api/v1
Key prefix	nk_test_*
Billing	No charges. All transactions succeed without debiting your account.
Registrations	Simulated. Nothing is submitted to ICANN or any registry.
Availability	Most standard TLDs return as available.
Webhooks	Fire normally. Test your integration end-to-end.
Data retention	Purged every 24hrs. Do not rely on sandbox for persistence.
Pre-funded	Sandbox accounts come with simulated credit. No setup required.

Production

Variable	Description
Base URL	https://namify.host/api/v1
Key prefix	nk_live_*
Billing	Real charges. Invoiced monthly or per-transaction based on your commercial terms.
Registrations	Live ICANN registrations. Domains are active on the internet.
Webhooks	Fire normally.

Switching environments

Swap two environment variables. No code changes:

# Sandbox
NAMIFY_BASE_URL=https://dev.namify.host/api/v1
NAMIFY_API_KEY=nk_test_...

# Production
NAMIFY_BASE_URL=https://namify.host/api/v1
NAMIFY_API_KEY=nk_live_...

Migration path

Build and test against sandbox. When your integration passes the Go-Live Checklist, swap in production credentials. The API behavior is identical the only change is that domains become real and billing begins.
