# Integration Overview

> Learn about Tesouro integration options, starting with Sandbox development and progressing to production deployment.

export const description = "Learn about Tesouro integration options and choose the right environment for your needs";

Getting started with Tesouro means integrating in Sandbox first, then promoting to production.

## Sandbox

Use Sandbox to build and validate your integration before go-live.

* **Purpose**: Begin actual integration development
* **Interface**: API endpoints for programmatic access
* **Authentication**: Your own API credentials and JWT tokens
* **Best for**: Building your integration, testing with your own code
* **Data**: Simulated data in a production-like environment

## Integration Path

1. **Start with Sandbox** - Build and test your integration with API calls using your credentials
2. **Deploy to Production** - Use production endpoints with production credentials

<Info>
  Sandbox uses simulated data. Nothing created in this environment will transfer to production.
