- Sandbox Availability

Environments
- Single host
- Holded serves one production host, https://api.holded.com/api. There is no separate development host, so the credential shape is the same wherever you point it.
- Testing
- Test against the demo environment rather than a live Holded account: anything the integration writes outside it lands in real books.
🚨Important to Know About Holded
- The monthly quota, not the per-minute rate, is what usually decides whether Holded can carry an integration: it is a single allowance for the whole account, drawn down by every key on it rather than granted per integration.
- A Holded API key belongs to the account rather than to the person who created it. Anyone holding it reaches everything the account exposes within the module permissions picked at creation, so choose those permissions deliberately.
- Holded serves both the accounting and HRIS APIs, and Vault keys a connection to one unified API, so each vertical is a separate connection using the same Holded API key. Employees are reachable only through HRIS: the accounting side excludes them.
