You can run the whole flow against https://sandbox.axle.insure, including from the Try it panel on Request Policy Update. Sandbox checks your request the same way production does, then simulates the insurance carrier instead of contacting one.
  1. Start an Ignition session in sandbox and complete Policy Lookup with the sandbox test inputs. Pick an insurance carrier and policy type that support the operation; see Operations.
  2. Exchange the authCode for an accessToken and note the policy’s id. See the Quickstart for that step.
  3. Send POST /policies/{policyId}/updates with your sandbox x-client-id and x-client-secret. In Try it, choose the sandbox server.
About 10 seconds later you’ll receive policy-update.request-succeeded. When processesInstantly is true, policy-update.policy-refresh-succeeded follows about 5 seconds after that, and the policy now lists the lienholder from your policy update configuration as primary. Sandbox always succeeds, so it never sends the failed events. Until those events arrive, another request on the same policy returns 409 with policy-update-in-progress.
Sandbox requires and reports input fields the same way each insurance carrier does in production. Accepted values are recorded on the policy update, but the simulated update doesn’t apply them to the policy.
