Environments

Pipedream Connect projects support two environments: development and production.

  1. Connected accounts and credentials stored in development remain separate from production.
  2. In development, you can use the official Pipedream OAuth apps, so you can test integrations without creating your own OAuth client.

How to specify environment

You specify the environment when creating a new Connect token with the Pipedream SDK or API. By default, the enviromment is set to production. When users succesfully connect their account, Pipedream saves it for that external_user_id in the specified environment.

You can set the environment when you create the SDK client:

import { createBackendClient } from "@pipedream/sdk";
 
const pd = createBackendClient({
  environment: "development", // change to production if running for a test production account, or in production
  credentials: {
    clientId: "your-oauth-client-id",
    clientSecret: "your-oauth-client-secret",
  }
});

or pass the X-PD-Environment header in HTTP requests:

curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/tokens \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-PD-Environment: development" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -d '{
    "external_user_id": "your-external-user-id"
  }'
