Using Test Mode

Test mode lets you build your integration against predictable, deterministic responses without consuming your monthly validation quota.

Test vs live keys

Predefined test scenarios

Use these email addresses with your test key to simulate specific outcomes:

These test emails always return the same scores, making them ideal for automated tests and CI pipelines.

Test IPs

Writing integration tests

// PHPUnit example
public function test_blocks_high_risk_signups()
{
    // Use test API key in your test environment
    $response = $this->post('/register', [
        'email' => 'dangerous@test.fidro.io',
        'password' => 'SecurePassword123',
    ]);

    $response->assertSessionHasErrors('email');
    $this->assertDatabaseMissing('users', [
        'email' => 'dangerous@test.fidro.io',
    ]);
}

Switching to live

When you're ready to go to production, swap your test key for a live key in your environment variables. No code changes needed — the API behaves identically, just with real data.
