Moving to Production

Overview

Once your integration is tested and working in the sandbox environment, you’re ready to deploy to production. This guide walks you through the necessary steps to ensure a smooth transition.

Pre-Production Checklist

Before moving to production, ensure you have completed: ✅ Thorough Testing - All API endpoints work correctly in sandbox
✅ Error Handling - Your application handles all error scenarios gracefully
✅ VAST Processing - Your player correctly processes and displays VAST tags
✅ Tracking Implementation - All impression and tracking URLs are properly fired
✅ Performance Testing - Your integration performs well under expected load

Production Migration Steps

1. Update Base URL

Change from sandbox to production endpoint: From (Sandbox):

https://sandbox-ad.lynxssp.com

To (Production):

https://ad.lynxssp.com

2. Replace API Key

Sandbox Key (Remove):

f9a3c4b7e2d84f85b3a2a1e3c9f071ac

Production Key (Use your actual key):

Obtain from your User Settings page
Or from Display Details page → Connect Player → API Integration

Never use the shared sandbox API key in production. Always use your unique production API key.

3. Update Identifiers

Replace test identifiers with your real ones:

Parameter	Sandbox Value	Production Value
`venue_id`	`venue1234`	Your actual venue ID
`screen_id`	`any-screen-id`	Your actual screen IDs

4. Production Configuration Example

# Production API Request
curl -X POST "https://ad.lynxssp.com/api/v1/ad/request?format=json" \
  -H "Lynx-Key: your-production-api-key-here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "venue_id": "your-actual-venue-id",
    "screen_id": "your-actual-screen-id",
    "play_time": 1698451200
  }'
