Sandbox vs Production

VoiceLab360 provides two fully isolated environments.

Sandbox

Keys prefixed vl360_test_
250,000 credits included with the API Sandbox plan ($19/month)
Processed by the same infrastructure as production
Audio outputs are watermarked and not licensed for commercial use
Workforce and studio endpoints return test data only
Ideal for integration testing, CI pipelines, and prototyping

Production

Keys prefixed vl360_live_
Credits deducted from your plan balance in real time
Audio outputs are not watermarked and are licensed per your plan terms
Full talent, studio, and buyer data returned
Rate limits enforced per plan

Switching environments

Swap the key value via environment variable when deploying to production. No code changes required.

# Development
VL360_API_KEY=vl360_test_...

# Production
VL360_API_KEY=vl360_live_...

All endpoints accept both key types. The environment is determined entirely by the key prefix.
