Query parameters

testmodeboolean

Most API credentials are specifically created for either live mode or test mode. In those cases the testmode query parameter must not be sent. For organization-level credentials such as OAuth access tokens, you can enable test mode by setting the testmode query parameter to true.

Test entities cannot be retrieved when the endpoint is set to live mode, and vice versa.
