> ## Agent Instructions
> HEVN has two products and they authorize money differently. Self-serve (the General tab): the person who owns the email holds the only key and signs for themselves. Whitelabel (the Whitelabel and REST API tabs): the integrator's backend holds a developer key, signs on behalf of client accounts it created, and HEVN co-signs. Never mix the two models in an answer.
> Use HEVN's terms exactly. A rail is a bank route a client can request. A virtual account (bnk_) is an opened rail. Account details are what a payer needs in order to wire money, and arrive in a field named requisites. A client is an account the integrator created; the business behind it is the integrator's customer. A contact is a saved destination; a beneficiary is the party at the far end of a fiat payout. Every departure of money is a payout, to a bank account or to a wallet alike.
> Never name a banking partner. Say 'a licensed banking partner'.
> There are no published fee rates, spreads or minimums. Prices come from a quote on a specific payment; direct pricing questions to HEVN rather than inventing numbers.
> The whitelabel API is at /dapi/v1 and takes a developer-key session plus an X-Hevn-Account header. The CLI uses an app API key in X-Api-Key. They are different credentials and neither works on the other surface.

# Sandbox

> The one place /dapi/v1/sandbox/* is documented: read the faucet account, mint money, settle a payin and move a payout.

The sandbox is the same API against one emulated partner on Base Sepolia. Same paths, same bodies, same slugs, same signatures — only the counterparty is fake, and four extra routes let you play it: the 41 operations production serves, plus these four.

| Environment | API base URL                               | App, in a browser             | Chain        |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------- | ------------ |
| Sandbox     | `https://sandbox-api.hevn.finance/dapi/v1` | `https://sandbox.gethevn.com` | Base Sepolia |
| Production  | `https://api.hevn.finance/dapi/v1`         | `https://app.gethevn.com`     | Base         |

Every example on these pages reads the same variables:

```bash theme={null}
export HEVN_API="https://sandbox-api.hevn.finance/dapi/v1"
export HEVN_EMAIL="integrator@example.com"
export HEVN_KEY_PEM="$HOME/.hevn/developer-key.pem"  # mode 0600, never in your repo
export HEVN_CLIENT_ID="cl_7YQ2Kf3mN8"                # the client a call acts for
```

Three more come out of the first two: `HEVN_ACCESS_TOKEN`, the one-hour token
[logging in](/whitelabel/sessions) returns; `HEVN_USER_ID`, your own account's `cl_…` id, which the
same response returns as `userId` and which the `/client*` routes need in `X-Hevn-Account` when you
read your own account; and `HEVN_PUBLIC_KEY`, the base64 public half of the PEM, which
`POST /dapi/v1/payouts` takes as `publicKey`.

```bash theme={null}
export HEVN_PUBLIC_KEY=$(openssl ec -in "$HEVN_KEY_PEM" -pubout -outform DER 2>/dev/null \
  | base64 | tr -d '\n')
```

Nothing crosses between the two environments: developer keys, clients, tokens and rail ids are
per-environment, and a sandbox token is refused in production.

## What is real and what is emulated

|                                   | In the sandbox                                                                                                                                                                  |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Chain                             | Base Sepolia. Balances, wallets, signatures and transaction hashes are real; the tokens are testnet USDC and EURC.                                                              |
| Fiat partner                      | One emulator answers for every rail. It issues checksum-valid account details — `SBOX…` BICs, DE/AE/GB IBANs, ABA routing numbers, a PIX key, an 18-digit SPEI number.          |
| Money in and out                  | Paid by a shared testnet faucet account on demand, through the routes below. Nothing arrives on its own.                                                                        |
| FX                                | A fixed table: USD 1, EUR 1.08, GBP 1.27, AED 0.2723, and so on, with USDC pegged to USD and EURC to EUR.                                                                       |
| Verification                      | A submitted KYB application is approved immediately. Rails open without a compliance queue.                                                                                     |
| Background work                   | Off. Every call projects its own rows before it returns, so there is nothing to wait for that you did not ask for.                                                              |
| Cards, swaps, cross-chain routing | Disabled. They are not part of the whitelabel API.                                                                                                                              |
| Your source IP                    | As real as in production. Every call is checked against the allowlist you registered with the developer key, so a sandbox host on a new egress IP answers `403` on every route. |

<Note>
  The sandbox is the same API against one emulated partner on Base Sepolia. Its money comes from a shared faucet account: at most **100 tokens per credit**, at least `0.10`, and **60 money calls per account per hour**. `GET /dapi/v1/sandbox/treasury` reports the live ceiling. Full table in [Limits](/whitelabel/reference/limits#sandbox).
</Note>

Three of these four routes move a client's money, and the header is how you pick which client. `GET /dapi/v1/sandbox/treasury` accepts it and reports the same shared faucet account either way.

Send `X-Hevn-Account: cl_…` with your own access token to act for one client. On a resource route
like `GET /banks` the header is optional: omit it and the call acts on your integrator account
instead. The singular `/client*` routes **require** it — the header is the only thing that names the
account — and `/clients` and `/escrow*` refuse it.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl "$HEVN_API/banks" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $HEVN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
    -H "X-Hevn-Account: $HEVN_CLIENT_ID"
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  northwind = hevn.acting_as(CLIENT_ID)
  rails = northwind.get("/banks")
  ```

  ```javascript Node theme={null}
  const northwind = hevn.actingAs(clientId);
  const rails = await northwind.get("/banks");
  ```

  ```go Go theme={null}
  northwind := api.ActingAs(clientID)
  rails, err := northwind.Get("/banks")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The whole table — where the header is optional, where it is required and where it is refused — is
in [Sessions](/whitelabel/sessions#acting-as-a-client).

None of these routes exist in production; there they answer `404`.

## What the sandbox does not grant

Being an integrator, being allowed to create clients, and being allowed to operate escrow are flags on your account, and nothing in the API sets them — in the sandbox as in production, HEVN does. There is no self-enrolment call. Until the flags are on, `POST /dapi/v1/clients` answers `403 integrator_inactive` or `403 client_creation_not_enabled`; `GET /dapi/v1/clients` answering an empty page is the cheapest confirmation that they are.

## Read the faucet account

Every emulated credit is paid by one account, and every emulated payout is booked against it.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -s "$HEVN_API/sandbox/treasury" -H "Authorization: Bearer $HEVN_ACCESS_TOKEN"
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  treasury = hevn.get("/sandbox/treasury")
  ```

  ```javascript Node theme={null}
  const treasury = await hevn.get("/sandbox/treasury");
  ```

  ```go Go theme={null}
  treasury, err := api.Get("/sandbox/treasury")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

```json Response — 200 theme={null}
{ "chainId": 84532, "address": "0x7d4E5E29e6d40735D4f9bB74a0234383068f8A21",
  "gasBalance": "0.0412", "maxCredit": "100",
  "balances": [ { "token": "USDC", "tokenAddress": "0x036CbD…", "balance": "842.51" },
                { "token": "EURC", "tokenAddress": "0x808456…", "balance": "310.00" } ] }
```

`maxCredit` is the live per-call ceiling. When the faucet account is empty or out of gas, credits answer `503 provider_unavailable` with `details.treasuryAddress` and `details.token` — that is a faucet problem, not your bug.

## Mint money

`POST /dapi/v1/sandbox/deposits` has two arms, and `bankId` picks between them.

* **With `bankId`** it is an unsolicited bank transfer into that rail's account details: `amount` is in the rail's currency, the emulator converts at the fixed rate and credits the client's account. `remitter` and `paymentReference` are the payer's name and message.
* **Without `bankId`** it is a token transfer straight to the client's wallet. `token` is `USDC` (default) or `EURC`, and it is the fastest way to fund a client before a payout test.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -s -X POST "$HEVN_API/sandbox/deposits" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $HEVN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
    -H "X-Hevn-Account: $HEVN_CLIENT_ID" \
    -H "Idempotency-Key: fund-northwind-001" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"amount":"6.00","token":"USDC"}'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  northwind = hevn.acting_as(CLIENT_ID)
  credit = northwind.post("/sandbox/deposits", {"amount": "6.00", "token": "USDC"},
                          idempotency_key="fund-northwind-001")
  ```

  ```javascript Node theme={null}
  const northwind = hevn.actingAs(clientId);
  const credit = await northwind.post("/sandbox/deposits",
    { amount: "6.00", token: "USDC" },
    { idempotencyKey: "fund-northwind-001" });
  ```

  ```go Go theme={null}
  northwind := api.ActingAs(clientID)
  credit, err := northwind.Post("/sandbox/deposits", hevn.Body{"amount": "6.00", "token": "USDC"},
  	hevn.IdempotencyKey("fund-northwind-001"))
  ```
</CodeGroup>

```json Response — 200 theme={null}
{ "depositId": "sbx_cd_1b8e0f7a2c", "status": "settled",
  "token": "USDC", "amount": "6.000000", "currency": "USDC",
  "idempotencyKey": "fund-northwind-001",
  "credited": "6.000000", "txHash": "0x08fa…", "transactionId": "txn_9e4…" }
```

A bank deposit answers the same shape with the fiat side filled in — `amount` and `currency` in the rail's currency, `credited` in the account it landed in, plus `fee`, `feeCurrency` and `rate`. When the credit settles a payin you quoted, `payinId` names it.

The key is optional here, as everywhere. Send one and a retry replays it (`200` with `Idempotency-Replayed: true`); send none and HEVN derives one from the request and echoes it as `idempotencyKey`. Two identical un-keyed deposits always replay, whatever the gap between them, so pass an explicit key when you want a second identical credit.

`202` means the faucet account's transfer has not confirmed yet. Repeat the same request until it is `settled`; nothing is ever credited twice.

## Settle a payin

A quoted payin waits for a bank transfer that will never arrive on its own. This route is that transfer.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -s -X POST "$HEVN_API/sandbox/payins/pi_2b7f14c0a9/complete" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $HEVN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
    -H "X-Hevn-Account: $HEVN_CLIENT_ID" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"remitter":"ACME GmbH"}'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  settled = northwind.post(f"/sandbox/payins/{payin['id']}/complete", {"remitter": "ACME GmbH"})
  ```

  ```javascript Node theme={null}
  const settled = await northwind.post(`/sandbox/payins/${payin.id}/complete`,
    { remitter: "ACME GmbH" });
  ```

  ```go Go theme={null}
  settled, err := northwind.Post("/sandbox/payins/"+payin.Str("id")+"/complete",
  	hevn.Body{"remitter": "ACME GmbH"})
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The body is optional and `remitter` is the only field in it — it becomes the payer name on the resulting income row, which is what you want if you are testing reconciliation. The payin must be open: one you never opened with `POST /dapi/v1/payins/{payinId}/instructions` answers `409 quote_not_submitted`.

## Move a payout

Booking and signing a payout work exactly as in production; the partner is emulated, so nothing settles on its own. You drive it.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -s -X POST "$HEVN_API/sandbox/payouts/po_4c8a13d7f2/status" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $HEVN_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
    -H "X-Hevn-Account: $HEVN_CLIENT_ID" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"status":"settled"}'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  moved = northwind.post(f"/sandbox/payouts/{payout['id']}/status", {"status": "settled"})
  ```

  ```javascript Node theme={null}
  const moved = await northwind.post(`/sandbox/payouts/${payout.id}/status`, { status: "settled" });
  ```

  ```go Go theme={null}
  moved, err := northwind.Post("/sandbox/payouts/"+payout.Str("id")+"/status",
  	hevn.Body{"status": "settled"})
  ```
</CodeGroup>

| `status`    | Needs the payout funded | What it does                                                                               |
| ----------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `submitted` | yes                     | The partner accepted the payment.                                                          |
| `settled`   | yes                     | The payout is done and the ledger row becomes a success.                                   |
| `failed`    | no                      | Allowed at any point. The money does **not** come back.                                    |
| `refunded`  | yes                     | The status flips, then the faucet account returns the source token to the client's wallet. |

"Funded" means the on-chain debit you signed has landed. Asking for anything but `failed` before that answers `409 payout_not_fundable`. An illegal move — `settled` back to `submitted` — answers `409 conflict`. `refunded` answers `202` until the return lands; call it again until `refundTxHash` is set, and the same send is resumed, never duplicated.

`status` shares its type with a payout's own status, so the schema also admits `awaitingSignature` — the one value this route never accepts. Sending it answers `422 validation_failed` with `details.fields[0].code = "value_error"` and the four legal values in the message; the four above are the whole vocabulary.

Keep two test payouts more than `0.20` apart in amount: returned money is attributed to a refunded payout by amount, within a `0.20` tolerance.

## What the sandbox does for you

Three things the production path makes you wait for happen here without a call: a submitted KYB application is approved immediately, a rail you open becomes `active` with account details as soon as the partner is asked, and every row exists by the time the call returns. That is the difference that will bite when you switch hosts — [Going live](/whitelabel/going-live) is the list.
