# Submit test credentials

`POST /sandbox/connect/submit_test_credentials`

Submit test credentials in the sandbox environment

The request should authenticate with a Bearer token from the [Connect Token endpoint](ref:createconnecttoken), provisioned in the same manner as it would be for front-end use with Connect.

## Headers

- `Arcadia-Version` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `username` string, required
  - `password` string, required
  - `account_number` string — Alternative to username/password, for use with ConEd
  - `utility_id` string, required — Arcadia identifier for the desired utility, found in the [Supported Utilities section](#section/Supported-Utilities).
  - `zip` string, required — Zip code of the test utility account service address. This can influence tariffs under some utilities.

## Response `201`

Success

- UtilityCredential
  - `id` integer, required
  - `client_user_id` string, required
  - `utility_name` string, required — The list of supported Arcadia utilities can be found [here](https://arc.arcadia.com/coverage?first=25&page=1).
  - `utility_long_name` string, required — Provides greater detail than `utility_name`. The list of supported Arcadia utilities can be found [here](https://arc.arcadia.com/coverage?first=25&page=1).
  - `username` string, nullable, required
  - `verification_status` 'pending' | 'verified' | 'rejected' | 'error', required — The verification status of the Utility Credential. * `pending`: Credential verification is pending * `verified`: The credentials were found to be correct * `rejected`: The credentials were found to be incorrect * `error`: There was an error attempting to verify the credentials. This status _may_ be transient, as Arcadia will continue to retry verification in the background.
  - `accounts_load_in_progress` boolean, required — Indicates if Arcadia is in the process of verifying a utility credential or loading associated utility accounts. The combination of `verification_status: verified` and `account_load_in_progress: false` will indicate that utility accounts are available in the API. Alternatively, the `utility_accounts_discovered` webhook will alert you when utility accounts are available in the API.
  - `verification_updated_at` string, date-time, nullable, required
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required
  - `updated_at` string, date-time, required
