Environments
Use Production for live traffic and Sandbox for safe integration work—each host needs matching credentials.
Cargobase exposes the partner API on two hosts. The token you hold is valid for one environment only: a Production credential will not authorize Sandbox calls, and the reverse is equally true.
Common hosts
| Environment | Base URL | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Production | https://pluto.cargobase.com | Live partner traffic |
| Sandbox | https://sandbox.cargobase.com | Development and integration testing |
https://pluto.cargobase.com is the production website. Every OpenAPI document lists these hosts in its servers block. Paths such as /api/1/… are relative to the host you select.
Choosing an environment
Build and validate against Sandbox first. When you are ready for live data, switch the base URL to Production (https://pluto.cargobase.com) and use a production token from your Cargobase administrator.
Switching in the explorer
Where a document defines multiple servers, the interactive reference lets you pick among them before you send a request. Prefer the environment that matches your current credentials and data.
