Handling test vs live in APIs

edited October 2023 in ? Working with APIs

Hi, I'm currently building up numerous APIs for a semi-live app, but having a few challenges in trying to determine if I'm working with a test or live source environment (in my case, bubble).

I already pass the X-Data-Source header from my bubble test instance, but my APIs also leverage external services for things like SMTP - of which also has a test and live environment. My goal is that if a request from bubble is targeting the "test" data source, I would like to also pass that request to my "test" SMTP service, so I am not ruining my delivery reputation by sending to garbage emails. As far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be any way within an API workflow to check what data source is currently being targeted, or any other parameter that I can use to check if it's a test or live API request.

Is there any way in the API workflow to determine which data source was requested?

    Looks like I've answered my own question, after spending hours trying to find a solution to this!!! Murphy strikes again…

    For those struggling with this kind of scenario - there is a "$datasource" environment variable you can retrieve:
