Sandbox (Test API Key)

OneRoute provides a developer-friendly test environment to check out the usage of the WhatsApp API. Through the test channel, you can test sending messages and templates and receive a webhook.

1. Get a Test API Key

To get a test API-KEY you can either:

  1. Send a WhatsApp message from your phone to the phone number +4930609859535 , with the content START. Alternatively, you can click this link: https://wa.me/4930609859535?text=START.

  2. As a response, you will receive your Test API-KEY. This key is associated with your phone's WhatsApp number.

  3. Now you are able to use the OneRoute WhatsApp API (Sandbox). You can set your own Webhook or send an unlimited number of messages and limited (10) templates.
