Simulations (Sandbox only)

Unit's Sandbox environment provides additional operations on top of the regular APIs. Those operations allow you to easily test and simulate activities that would normally take a long time or require interaction with the external world.

A common example for testing would be Simulating a Received ACH Payment to create funds in an account, followed by Simulating a Card Purchase to spend those funds.

note

Simulation operations are subject to the same authentication scheme as the Live APIs, and therefore require a valid Authentication token.

Create Customer Token Without 2FA​

Usually in order to obtain a customer token with write permission we need to perform the following actions:

For simulation purposes we can skip the 2FA requirement by calling only Create Customer Token passing "verificationCode": "000001".

Example Request:
curl -X POST 'https://api.s.unit.sh/customers/<CUSTOMER_TOKEN>/token'
-H 'Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json'
-H 'Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}'
--data-raw '{
  "data": {
    "type": "customerToken",
    "attributes": {
      "scope": "customers accounts payments payments-create counterparties counterparties-create cards-create",
      "verificationCode": "000001"
    }
  }
}'
