GOING LIVE
All the APIs provided on this API Portal are within the Accor Test environment.
It means that once you'll have finalized your development on Test environment , you'll need to request a Test validation committee (see section below) to validate your development and define whether security tests need to be performed on your platform. (security tests coud take up to 60 days to be performed)
Then, if everything is validated on Test environment, you'll need to request a Prod validation committee (see section below) to use Accor APIs in production.
- The Prod validation committee will occur in the next 7 days following your request.
- The Go live (production credentials,..) will occur 7 days after the Prod validation committee.
