Your First API Request

Follow this guide to make your first request to the Sangho API. No production code required — everything runs in Sandbox.

Step 1: Retrieve your test API keys

• Log in at dash.sangho.ga
• Go to Developers → API Keys
• Copy your test secret key (sk_test_…)

Step 2: List your applications

The simplest route to verify your API key is working is GET /apps/. It returns your Sangho applications in a paginated envelope { count, next, previous, data } — the array is in data.

Step 3: Create your first PaymentIntent

A PaymentIntent represents the intent to collect a payment. Create one with an amount of 5,000 XAF in Sandbox to test the complete flow.

Note

In Sandbox, no real funds are involved. Use sk_test_ keys freely to test without risk.
