How to get access to this API?
If you are a Colt customer then please contact your Account Executive.
What is the onboarding process?
Your Account Executive will request the logins for the sandbox account. AE will share the details with you.
The sandbox environment has production like features and you are free to test any use case using the APIs. Our devops team will support you during this period.
Once you are ready with API development and want to move to production , the Account executive has to raise separate registration request that creates Colt online logins and On demand platform credentials. We will then also create MEF production credential and set up NNIs which are essential for MEF API.
