These data are the ones used while you are testing your Gameball engagement experience before going live, mostly used by your team. Gameball will give you the ability to test the whole experience you designed on your staging/UAT environment. No need to care about deleting the test data that you have used during the integration cycle.
Live Data
These data are the ones used once you start going live with Gameball on your platform, with the Gameball engagement experience exposed to your customers according to your configurations.
Your account will have 2 different API Keys — one for Test and the other for Live data. You can access your API Keys settings section in the Gameball Admin Dashboard through Settings > Admin Settings > Account Integration.
API Keys in Account Integration settings
You will find both your Live API Key and Test API Key.
Use Test API Key on your staging/UAT environment and Live API Key on your production environment.
