Environments
Pipedream Connect projects support two environments: development and production. Connected accounts and credentials stored in development remain separate from production.
You can use all of the Connect features in development mode on any plan. Get in touch with our Sales team when you’re ready to ship to production.
How to specify the environment
You specify the environment when creating a new Connect token with the Pipedream SDK or API. When users succesfully connect their account, Pipedream saves the account credentials (API key, access token, etc) for that external_user_id in the specified environment.
Always set the environment when you create the SDK client:
import { createBackendClient } from "@pipedream/sdk/server";
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"
}'When connecting an account in development, make sure you’re signed in to pipedream.com in the same browser where you’re connecting your account. This is only a requirement for the development environment. You should only use development with your own accounts when testing and developing, and not with your end users.
