Introduction to Mikomo and the sandbox

We want you to be able to learn our platform and test our APIs in a safe environment with test data, so we created Mikomo Bank and a set of test API servers for your use.

What is Mikomo?

Mikomo is a mock data provider managed by Akoya. It contains a number of test user accounts whose response payloads resemble many of the providers on our network. You can use these accounts to step through the consent process and retrieve test data. Since the exact responses vary by provider, you can use specific test accounts to simulate receiving data from that provider.

What is sandbox?

The “sandbox” is a set of test API servers you can use to make calls in a non-production setting. You can ONLY use our mock provider Mikomo bank with these servers. All our API products are configured to use them. Our “Akoya API servers” doc provides a list of these test servers.

How do I get started with the sandbox?

If you haven’t already, log into the Data Recipient Hub, go to “My apps” and create a sandbox app. When you create a “sandbox app,” you’re essentially registering a redirect URI with us and generating your API credentials. Don’t worry if you don't have a redirect URI yet. When you create the sandbox app, a placeholder redirect URI (https://recipient.ddp.akoya.com/flow/callback) will populate which you can use for testing. To make a sandbox API call, just ensure you’re using the appropriate sandbox server base URL with our endpoints (e.g. https://sandbox-idp.ddp.akoya.com/token or https://sandbox-products.ddp.akoya.com/accounts-info/{version}/{providerId}).

What’s next?

Check out our Getting started guide, where you will step through the entire process of obtaining data using our test API servers.
