# Access & environments

> How to reach Clausum in sandbox, who provisions API access, and which URLs to use in your integration.

Clausum separates **where you work** (the web application) from **where your servers call the API** (your assigned API base URL). Public documentation does not list production API hostnames for security reasons.

## Web application (dashboard)

Use the Clausum web app to configure your organization, invite teammates, run simulations, and manage keys:

```
https://sandbox.clausum.ai
```

<Tip>
  Bookmark `https://sandbox.clausum.ai`. If your organization uses a dedicated hostname in production, your welcome email or account team will specify it.
</Tip>

## Partner API base URL

Server-to-server calls (`/api/v1/assess`, `/api/v1/report-fraud`, blocklists, cases, ingest) use a **base URL assigned to your organization**.

<Warning>
  **Do not guess the API hostname.** Clausum support (or your account administrator) delivers:

  * The exact **API base URL** (may match sandbox for trials, or a dedicated host in production)
  * Confirmation that your **API keys** are active for that environment

  Store the value in an environment variable, for example:

  ```bash theme={null}
  # Provided by Clausum support when your workspace is provisioned
  CLAUSUM_API_BASE=https://sandbox.clausum.ai
  ```

  For sandbox evaluations, support often assigns `https://sandbox.clausum.ai`. Production integrations may receive a different host — use only the URL you were given.
</Warning>

All code examples in this documentation use `$CLAUSUM_API_BASE` or `process.env.CLAUSUM_API_BASE` so you can swap environments without changing application logic.

## When to contact support

Reach **[api@clausum.ai](mailto:api@clausum.ai)** or your account contact when you need:

* Initial **API base URL** and workspace provisioning
* Production cutover or a **dedicated API hostname**
* SSO, enterprise contracts, or fraud-network participation
* Platform-wide administration (financial institutions with managed onboarding)

<Note>
  Clausum is designed so merchants and operators can complete day-to-day configuration in the dashboard. Support is required for **environment credentials and contractual provisioning**, not for every integration step.
