Sandbox API testing

[newbro]

Would it be possible to add a way to override the default host for the api call? Since for testing phase we need to make api call to sandbox.orcid.org

Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem at all. It's been some time since I read their documentation. They use api.orcid.org for their members api and pub.orcid.org for their public api. Do you know if there is a corollary for testing, or is it all just sandbox.orcid.org?

Never mind, I found the info that I was looking for (http://members.orcid.org/api/tokens-through-3-legged-oauth-authorization, at the very bottom of the page).

If i understand it right, sandbox.orcid.org is just a testing platform for their members api. So I guess adding the follow in Oauth class would suffice:
public function useSandboxApi() { $this->level = 'sandbox'; return $this; }

Yep, I'll do that. Thanks!

This should be resolved in release v0.2, which is now out. I don't actually have a sandbox account for ORCID, so please let me know if you run into any issues. The documentation has also been updated to highlight the added functionality.

As a brief overview, you can now call useSandboxEnvironment(). Note that this is not mutually exclusive to the usePublicApi() and useMemberApi() methods, as they serve different purposes (i.e. the sandbox environment also has a members and public api).

Hope that helps. Let me know if you need anything else.
