TEST_MODE_ONLY

This only works with test credentials

When it happens

A sandbox endpoint (/sandbox/...) was called with a live token, or a live token was sent from a web page, such as this site's API Reference or the dashboard's API console. Nothing was done.

  1. Use test credentials (rci_test_) for sandbox endpoints and in the browser.
  2. Call Reeds with live credentials only from your own servers.
