Environments
- Single environment
- sevDesk runs one environment (my.sevdesk.de) and there are no separate development credentials — testing and production both use a real account's API token.
- Testing
- Every call hits a live account and creates real business documents, so keep development on an account of your own rather than on a consumer's production data.
🚨Important to Know About sevDesk
- The API token belongs to one sevDesk user — regenerating it, or deleting that user, cuts the connection immediately and the consumer has to supply a new token. Plan for a reconnect prompt rather than an automatic recovery.
