Does the sandbox need an API key?

No. Every path under /sandbox/* (base URL https://api.vedika.io/sandbox) is keyless — no x-api-key header, no account, no signup. This is the only free tier Vedika offers; the live /v2/* API has no free tier and every call there is billed.

What data does the sandbox return?

Real computed output, not hand-written fake JSON. Every sandbox call runs the same calculation engine the paid API uses, on one fixed demo chart — 1995-01-01, 12:00 IST, New Delhi (28.6139°N, 77.2090°E). Two-chart endpoints (matching/synastry) pair that chart with a second fixed demo chart — 1992-06-20, 14:15 IST, Mumbai. You can send your own birth details to test request validation, but the sandbox never runs a calculation on them — it always answers from the fixed demo chart. Every response carries "billing": {"charged": 0}: a sandbox call is never billed and never touches a wallet or usage total. The one exception is POST /sandbox/chat/ask / POST /sandbox/chat/stream, which return one representative static sample answer instead of a live AI call (the sandbox never makes an LLM call).

Which paths exist?

Any documented /v2/... path also exists at /sandbox/... (drop the /v2/ segment) with the same HTTP method and response shape. Rather than a hand-maintained list that drifts out of date, the sandbox documents itself at runtime — query it directly to get the exact set of paths live right now:

curl https://api.vedika.io/sandbox         # full path catalog
curl https://api.vedika.io/sandbox/info    # summary + docs links

# POST endpoint, no key, no body required (falls back to the demo chart)
curl -X POST https://api.vedika.io/sandbox/astrology/birth-chart \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'

# GET endpoint with a path param
