Overview

The Yativo Crypto Sandbox is an isolated testing environment that mirrors the production API. All wallets and transactions in sandbox run on testnets only — no real funds are ever involved.

Sandbox URL

https://crypto-sandbox.yativo.com/api/

Production URL

https://crypto-api.yativo.com/api/

​
Quick Start — Use the Shared Sandbox Account

To get started immediately without registering, use the shared sandbox API key below. It’s public and pre-populated with accounts, wallets, customers, and a webhook so you can explore every endpoint right away.
This is a shared public account for exploration only. Do not store sensitive data here. For real integration testing, create your own sandbox account with a private API key.

​
Step 1 — Generate a Bearer Token

curl -X POST 'https://crypto-sandbox.yativo.com/api/auth/token' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "api_key": "yativo_e072b3ef7e30fcb420183aa86ddd8452abd28a9ac8f5d04d",
    "api_secret": "df8da4d6b855c7e89bd3b4216dd0a1f4b30de1963c9bff0dcd666b15a0f836a5"
  }'
You’ll get back an access_token valid for 60 minutes. Call /auth/token again at any time to refresh — the API key never expires.

​
Step 2 — Start calling the API

curl -X GET 'https://crypto-sandbox.yativo.com/api/accounts/get-accounts' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
The shared sandbox account is pre-populated with:

Webhooks1 active webhook

​
Create Your Own Sandbox Account

For private integration testing with dedicated credentials:
  1. Register at crypto.yativo.com/sign-up
  2. Log in and go to Developer → API Keys
  3. Create an API key — it works against both sandbox and production (just change the base URL)
  4. Use POST /auth/token with your credentials against https://crypto-sandbox.yativo.com/api/

All crypto wallets created in sandbox are on testnet chains. Addresses generated will never hold real funds. Testnet tokens can be obtained from each chain’s faucet.

Sandbox Limitations

  • Yativo Card KYC: Uses a test-mode KYC and card provider. Transactions are simulated.
  • IBAN bank transfers: Cannot receive transfers from real banks — testnet Monerium only.
  • Swap rates: Simulated, not live market prices.
  • Email OTPs: Delivered to real email addresses, same as production.

​
Environment Variable Pattern

We recommend switching environments with a single variable change:
.env.sandbox
YATIVO_API_KEY=yativo_e072b3ef7e30fcb420183aa86ddd8452abd28a9ac8f5d04d
YATIVO_API_SECRET=df8da4d6b855c7e89bd3b4216dd0a1f4b30de1963c9bff0dcd666b15a0f836a5
YATIVO_BASE_URL=https://crypto-sandbox.yativo.com/api
.env.production
YATIVO_API_KEY=your_production_api_key
YATIVO_API_SECRET=your_production_api_secret
YATIVO_BASE_URL=https://crypto-api.yativo.com/api
Your integration code doesn’t change — only the environment variables.
