Definition
The sandbox is a separate project with its own OAuth client and bucket. It is fixed at the build tier (10 req/s, burst 50) so it is for correctness, not load. Sandbox and live never share credentials, data or quotas.
In plain terms
A safe copy of the API to build against before you go live.
Why it matters here
The public ring has no sandbox — it returns only published data. See environments and the sandbox.
