Getting Ready

All operations with our API must be executed over HTTPS. Our sandbox endpoint is

https://tops.focusfwd.com

Every API request must be authenticated via an API key. Your sandbox API key will differentiate your request from a request made to our production service. If you don’t have these keys for the sandbox, contact us at apisupport@fftranscription.com.

Now let’s make our first request using the Sandbox API. All examples in the Quick Start use cURL, a simple command line tool for transferring data. You can access cURL in the following ways:

• On PC, Mac, or Linux: Using Postman to interpret cURL commands- our recommended tool
• On a PC: by downloading cURL
• On a Mac or Linux: via Terminal, where cURL should be installed by default
