Environments and base URLs - Flux Developer Docs

Flux provides distinct environments to ensure you can safely develop and test your integrations without affecting production data.

Never run automated tests or development scripts against the Production environment.

Internal APIs (Metadata Service)

The Metadata Service is only accessible from within the internal network. Depending on which internal network you are connected to (via VPN or VPS), the base URL changes:

Environment	Base URL	Usage
Development	`http://meta.dev.internal:8080`	Unstable, contains bleeding-edge features. Database is wiped frequently.
Staging	`http://meta.staging.internal:8080`	Pre-production environment. Mirrors production data structure. Use this for testing your integrations.
Production	`http://meta.internal:8080`	Live production data. Strictly for production traffic.

Public APIs (Flux Pass)

Flux Pass is accessible from the public internet. Use the following base URLs:

Environment	Base URL	Usage
Staging	`https://api.staging.fluxdrop.com`	Safe testing environment for Auth and User management.
Production	`https://api.fluxdrop.com`	Live production API.
