Sandbox Testing Environment
The Connect stack is available in an isolated sandbox testing environment. This is useful for verifying integrations without affecting production campaigns.
Base URLs
The URL for all API endpoints is located at:
https://connect.cintworks.net/api
And in general the URL follows this template:
https://connect.cint.com/api/{AccountId}/campaign/{campaignId}
Where the {AccountId} specifies your unique ID as a customer and must always be included in the requests. The information following this parameter will vary depending on the data request.
The URL for tracking is located at:
https://sandbox.cintnetworks.com
The URL for campaign management is located at:
https://connect.cintworks.net
Cookie-drop URL
In order to test interaction events from cookies, you will need to create a test cookie in your browser. The easiest way to do this is to use the following URL:
https://sandbox.cintnetworks.com/r/?p={panelistId}&url={RedirectUrl}
For example, the following drops a cookie for panelist 27176969 and then redirects to http://endless.horse/:
https://sandbox.cintnetworks.com/r/?p=27176969&url=aHR0cDovL2VuZGxlc3MuaG9yc2Uv
Afterwards, you can send impression events as per the Setting up tracking section.
Usage
You will still need to follow the same instructions under the Getting Started section before using the sandbox API. The environments are completely isolated, so an API for production will not work in the sandbox environment
To use the sandbox environment, simply substitute the production base URL with the sandbox base URL.
Testing in sandbox
Because the sandbox environment doesn't have the same data as production, the following have been setup and configured to test the some of the matching capabilities:
| Panelist ID | MAID Type | MAID | Opted into tracking |
|---|---|---|---|
| 27176969 | AAID | 286c674a-826c-43a3-bb63-a814abb8c215 | Yes |
| 27177002 | AAID | f6a41e35-cd18-4703-9269-6ee3a043cb72 | No |
| 27177019 | IDFA | dd7d5676-6be6-4ad3-9841-2af04b095d75 | Yes |
| 27177020 | IDFA | a60fa021-52c2-4f39-b93f-904b13cbc852 | No |
You will still need to follow the same instructions under the Setting up tracking section.
