Question

Can someone with salesforce API integration help me understand the requirements to access a client's Sandbox? I need to access the sandbox and pull data into our MySQL server.

Client provided us with the following credentials for the sandbox. Target URL: http://xxx.my.salesforce.com Username: user@clientdomain.com.beta password: xxxxxxx token: gave us a token to access through API. Any help would beappreciated?

Here is how you can get access to log in to salesforce sandbox login-config Make sure that username is appended with ".[sanboxname]".

Users can log in to the sandbox at https://test.salesforce.com by appending .sandbox_name to their Salesforce usernames. For example, if a username for a production organization is user1@acme.com, and the sandbox is named “test”, the modified username to log in to the sandbox is user1@acme.com.test. The password needs to have a security token appended. If password = test and token = 123, then you need test123
