Going live

You build and test your integration in our test environment first. Going live means a second, separate setup in production: a production sign-in and a production API key.

Before you ask

  • Your integration works end to end in the test environment (https://tmstest.reconex.io): the calls you'll use in production succeed, and you handle errors as described in Errors.
  • You know which TMS accounts your integration will create and look up loads for in production. Account and location ids can differ between test and production; confirm the production ones with your Reconex contact.
  • Your system can switch base URL and API key by configuration, so the change to production is a setting, not a code change.

How it works

  1. Contact your Reconex contact and tell them you're ready to go live.
  2. We invite you to production. The invitation goes to the address you use in test (or another you give us).
  3. Sign in to production for the first time: confirm your email, choose your password (your production sign-in is separate from your test one), and generate your production API key on Your Profile.
  4. Switch your integration to the production base URL, https://tms.reconex.io, with your production key.

Your test key won't work in production

Keys belong to one environment. Using your test key against production (or the other way round) gets 403 Forbidden.

After you're live

  • Keep your test setup. Build and try changes there first, with your test key, before they reach production.
  • Your production key is on Your Profile in production. To replace it, see Authentication.
