can someone with salesforce API integration help me understand the requirements to access a client’s Sandbox? I need to access the sandbox and pull data into our MySQL server.
I hired a programmer but he seems to be having a hard time accessing the sandbox and I want to try to help by guiding him in the right direction? Client provided us with the following credentials for the sandbox.
Target URL: http://xxx.my.salesforce.com
Username: user@clientdomain.com.beta
password: xxxxxxx
token: gave us a token to access through API.Your help will be greatly appreciated…
Answer
In addition to sfdcfox pointing out that you generally login to a sandbox at https://test.salesforce.com, there is another option. Since you are using my domain you can login through its URL:
Production URL: https://mydomain.my.salesforce.com
Sandbox URL: https://mydomain--sandboxName.[Instance].my.salesforce.com. Note that the instance can change when the sandbox is refreshed.
Does the client have it configured so you must login through their custom domain? If not, use https://test.salesforce.com.
