Environments

Environments

LMIF provides two environments for development and production use.

Environment URLs

Environment	Base URL
Sandbox	https://sandbox.api.lookmaimfamous.com
Production	https://api.lookmaimfamous.com

Sandbox Environment

The sandbox environment is for development and testing. It:

• Uses test API keys (lmif_test_xxx)
• Contains mock celebrity data for testing
• Does not trigger real enforcement
• Has lower rate limits
• Resets weekly

Test Identities

The sandbox includes pre-configured test identities:

Name	Policy	Notes
Test Celebrity A	BLOCK_ALL	Always blocked
Test Celebrity B	MONETIZE	10% royalty rate
Test Celebrity C	LICENSE	Requires license
Test Celebrity D	OPEN	No restrictions
Test Corporation	BLOCK_COMMERCIAL	Commercial blocked

Note

Use these test identities to verify your integration handles all policy types correctly.

Testing Webhooks

In sandbox mode, you can trigger test webhook events:

SDK

// Trigger a test webhook event
await lmif.webhooks.test({
  eventType: 'box.created',
  endpoint: 'https://yoursite.com/webhooks/lmif',
});

cURL

curl -X POST https://sandbox.api.lookmaimfamous.com/v1/lmif/webhooks/test \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer lmif_test_xxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "eventType": "box.created",
    "endpoint": "https://yoursite.com/webhooks/lmif"
  }'

Production Environment

The production environment is for live integrations:

• Uses production API keys (lmif_live_xxx)
• Contains real protected identities
• Triggers real enforcement actions
• Higher rate limits
• Full SLA coverage

Going to Production

Before switching to production:

1. Complete sandbox testing - Test all policy types
2. Implement webhook handlers - Handle all required events
3. Set up monitoring - Track API errors and latency
4. Request production access - Apply via dashboard
5. Compliance review - We verify your implementation

SDK Configuration

TypeScript

import { LMIFClient } from '@lookmaimfamous/lmif';

// Sandbox (default when using test key)
const sandboxClient = new LMIFClient({
  apiKey: 'lmif_test_xxx',
});

// Production (automatic when using live key)
const productionClient = new LMIFClient({
  apiKey: 'lmif_live_xxx',
});

// Explicit environment override
const client = new LMIFClient({
  apiKey: process.env.LMIF_API_KEY,
  environment: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? 'production' : 'sandbox',
});

Environment-Specific Behavior

Feature	Sandbox	Production
Identity checks	Mock data	Real data
Webhooks	Test triggers	Real events
Grace periods	1 day (accelerated)	30 days
Enforcement	No real action	Real enforcement
Rate limits	60/min	Plan-based
Data retention	Weekly reset	Permanent

Tip

Use environment variables to manage your API keys across environments:

.env.development

LMIF_API_KEY=lmif_test_xxx

# .env.production
LMIF_API_KEY=lmif_live_xxx
