UAT Environment

The UAT (User Acceptance Testing) environment is a sandbox for testing and development. It mirrors production functionality with test data.

Base URL

Purpose

Use the UAT environment to:

• Develop integrations - Build and test your trading applications
• Test order flows - Submit and cancel orders without real funds
• Validate credentials - Verify exchange API key setup
• Debug issues - Troubleshoot in isolation from production

Getting Started

1. Create UAT Account

Contact Cadenza support to provision a UAT account.

2. Obtain Exchange Sandbox Credentials

Create API keys on exchange sandbox/testnet environments:

• Binance Testnet
• Deribit Testnet
• OKX Demo

3. Connect to UAT

import requests

UAT_URL = "https://cadenza-api-uat.algo724.com"

# Login to UAT
response = requests.post(f"{UAT_URL}/api/v3/auth/login", json={
    "email": "your-uat@email.com",
    "password": "your-uat-password"
})
token = response.json()["data"]["accessToken"]
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"}

# Use sandbox venue
response = requests.post(f"{UAT_URL}/api/v3/credential/create",
    headers=headers,
    json={
        "venue": "BINANCE_SANDBOX",
        "apiKey": "your-testnet-api-key",
        "apiSecret": "your-testnet-api-secret"
    }
)

Test Data

UAT environment includes:

• Pre-configured test instruments
• Simulated order book data
• Test balances for paper trading

Best Practices

1. Use separate credentials - Never use production API keys in UAT
2. Test edge cases - Validate error handling with invalid inputs
3. Verify before production - Complete full workflow testing in UAT
4. Reset periodically - Contact support to reset test account state

Limitations

• Order execution may not reflect real market conditions
• Some exchange features may be unavailable in sandbox mode
• Historical data may be limited
• Rate limits are relaxed but not unlimited
