Authentication
How to authenticate requests using your API key.
All API requests must include a valid API key in the X-API-Key header. Sandbox and production each have their own key — they are not interchangeable.
API key prefixes
| Environment | Prefix | Base URL |
|---|---|---|
| Sandbox | sk_sbx_… | https://sandbox-api.callplus.be |
| Production | sk_prod_… | https://api.callplus.be |
You receive each key when the corresponding account is provisioned. Keys are shown once — store them securely.
Same code, different config. The request and response shapes are identical across environments. To go from testing to live, swap the base URL and the API key — nothing else changes.
Making a request
curl -X POST https://api.callplus.be/api/v1/simulations \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
-d '{

}'To send the same request against sandbox, swap the base URL to https://sandbox-api.callplus.be and the key prefix to sk_sbx_…. See Request a Call+ simulation for the full schema.

}Security best practices
- Never expose your API key in client-side code, public repositories, or logs.
- Keep production and sandbox keys in separate secret stores so they can't be mixed up.
- Rotate your key immediately if you suspect it has been compromised — contact the Call+ team.
- Use environment variables to store keys in your application.
