Does Cloudinary have a sandbox / test environment ?

AdamBrunt

Hi all,

As above really - and I will happily admit this may well be answered somewhere deep down in the documentation.

Up until now, we have only been using the Cloudinary API (from our application) in a production environment [ we have a cloud name, id and secret ]. However, we aren't using any Cloudinary functionality on our non-PRODUCTION environments.

Does Cloudinary have a sandbox/test environment we can use for non-PRODUCTION ?

If so, how do we access it ? If not, how are other developers testing their code outside of PRODUCTION in a way that makes sure images uploaded/deleted outside PRODUCTION do not interfere with PRODUCTION images ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Adam

Hi Adam,

Thanks for reaching out.

Yes, it is possible for some account types to set up a sandbox type of environment, this is normally done by using our multiple environments capability. If your account is our "Plus" plan and up, it will be possible to navigate to https://console.cloudinary.com/settings/account and "Add new product environment"

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Regards,

John

Thanks for reply John.

I will find out what sort of account we have - I am just one of the devs responsible for making it work rather than actually setting it up 😀 - and may well come back to you.

In the meantime, is there any documentation you can point me to that explains this "multiple environments" functionality ? For clarity, our application currently does nothing more than make REST API https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/.../image/upload and https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/.../image/destroy end points.
