Understanding TESTCONS

View as MarkdownOpen in Claude

When onboarding new clients, Support may often recommend getting started with the TESTCONS consumer key.

  • TESTCONS is a Third Party Consumer Key, and in order to register it, developers must initially follow the third party workflow.
    • For First Party developers, please utilize one of the provided samples to register the consumer key with your user. After registration, you may reserve the Access Token and Access Token Secret to follow the standard First party OAuth implementation.
  • This consumer key is only available for Paper Trading Accounts. Attempts to register this consumer key with a live account will result in an error.
  • Third Party consumer keys will register to an account immediately. As a result, TESTCONS will be immediately usable for any registered client, regardless of whether the individual is applying for a first party or third party consumer key.
