Production Environment Setup

This guide outlines the process for transitioning your integration from the sandbox environment to production.

​
Production Readiness Checklist

Before requesting production access, ensure your integration meets these requirements:
  • All critical API endpoints have been tested in sandbox
  • Error handling is implemented for all API responses
  • Webhook receivers are properly configured and validated
  • Security measures are in place (TLS, API key protection, etc.)
  • Compliance requirements are implemented (KYC, AML procedures)
  • User flows have been tested end-to-end
  • Monitoring and alerting systems are configured

​
Production Certification Process

​
Production Access Request

To request production access:
  1. Log in to your tenant dashboard
  2. Navigate to “Production Access” section
  3. Complete the production readiness assessment
  4. Submit required documentation:
    • Integration test results
    • Security assessment
    • Compliance procedures documentation

​
Production Credentials

After approval, you’ll receive:
  • Production API Key & Secret
  • Production Dashboard Access
  • Production Webhook Secret Keys
  • Support Contact Information

Production Environment Configuration

​
Base URLs

Use the following base URLs for all API calls in the production environment: 
API Base URL: https://api.finhub.com/v2
Authentication URL: https://auth.finhub.com/v2
Webhook URL: https://webhook.finhub.com/v2

​
Environment Configuration

Update your environment configuration to use production credentials: 
# Example environment variables
FINHUB_API_KEY=your_production_api_key
FINHUB_API_SECRET=your_production_api_secret
FINHUB_API_URL=https://api.finhub.com/v2

​
Security Requirements

In production, additional security requirements apply:
  1. IP Whitelisting: Register your server IP addresses
  2. Mutual TLS: Implement certificate-based authentication
  3. Request Signing: All requests must be cryptographically signed
  4. Rate Limiting: Adhere to production rate limits

​
Production Support

Once in production, you’ll have access to:
  • Dedicated support channel
  • Production incident response team
  • Regular maintenance notifications
  • Performance monitoring dashboard
