Environment

We support a sandbox environment and a production environment. The sandbox environment allows you to test your API client code. You need your EBSCO credentials to access the sandbox environment. For the LinkIQ service, you need your customer profile to access the sandbox environment. The sandbox can be used for testing the various API functions in a secure environment. All of your testing and development should be completed in the sandbox environment.

LinkIQ requests to the sandbox environment should be made to:
