Environments

Vetigen provides two environments for API integration: Production and Sandbox.

Base URLs

Production

The production environment contains real clinic data. Use it for your live integration.

• Base URL: https://api.vetigen.com
• Data: Real patient records, appointments, and inventory data

curl https://api.vetigen.com/api/v1/patients \
  -H "X-API-Key: sk_live_YOUR_KEY"

Sandbox

The sandbox environment is isolated from production. Use it for development and testing.

• Base URL: https://api-sandbox.vetigen.com
• Data: Synthetic test data — no real patient information
• Key format: API keys are environment-specific; do not infer the environment from the key prefix

curl https://api-sandbox.vetigen.com/api/v1/patients \
  -H "X-API-Key: sk_live_SANDBOX_KEY"

Sandbox Test Data

The sandbox environment is pre-populated with test data:

Switching Environments

To switch environments, update:

1. The base URL in your API client configuration
2. The API key issued for that environment

const client = new VetigenClient({
  baseUrl: process.env.VETIGEN_BASE_URL,
  apiKey: process.env.VETIGEN_API_KEY,
});
