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:
ParameterSandbox ValueProduction Value
venue_idvenue1234Your actual venue ID
screen_idany-screen-idYour actual screen IDs

​
