Can we get a sandbox for the API?

or at least mark Authors own items as purchased so we can test API details against our own accounts, which I’d almost prefer

Its kind of ridiculous that we have to create a separate account + buy our own items(in my test case I need to buy multiple items)

Yes! API is not designed for testing.

There already is a API http://themeforest.net/help/api

theres not no way to actually test private details unless you make a separate account and buy your own products. Which makes it difficult for authors who want to use the API or for people who make tools freely available to the community

chris, I know there is an API :), What I meant was that I agree and I too would appreciate the ability to test the API and be able to generate testing purchase codes.

I just tried that on your quote, and I got a message that someone will be here shortly and that I can do that only twice ever 24 hours. You’re welcome :)

Nah, they show up just fine, I forwarded them right now. The delay was actually due to the WE / SSO launch and any issues related to it preventing authors from signing in.

Will follow up here as soon as I get a reply or I’ll kindly ask one of the Devs to reply here directly.

Thanks for your patience, and apologies for my delay in letting you know that I was aware of your request :)
