Ripple Enables Developers to Simulate RealTime XRP Payments Without Using Actual Funds

Ripple has unveiled a new feature in its Ripple Payments API that enables developers to test XRP transactions in real time without using actual funds.
Yesterday, the prominent American crypto fintech company Ripple announced the “Try it Before You Buy It” feature for developers and potential customers. This addition to the API documentation allows developers to test the Ripple Payments services in real time.
The “Try it” feature is now accessible on the reference documentation pages of Ripple Payments API, Report Service API, and Smart Liquidation Service API.
With “Try it,” development teams can evaluate Ripple’s payment technology solution by sending API requests to a mock server and receiving realistic responses without the need to sign in or obtain API credentials.
This feature also offers a convenient way for developers new to the integration process to experiment with specific endpoints and learn more about the API through the reference documentation.
Before the introduction of the “Try it” feature, developers had to complete the contracting operation to obtain API credentials before testing Ripple Payments APIs. This barrier has now been eliminated, providing interested parties with a convenient and accessible testing tool.
According to Ripple, this feature is expected to significantly reduce integration time frames and enable developers to conduct autonomous testing before going live.
Furthermore, the firm noted that the mock server response helps developers better understand how Ripple APIs structure responds, including how modifying request parameters affects the response. This knowledge sets developers up for success when integrating with Ripple Payments, its proprietary solution that leverages XRP, among other crypto assets.
Ripple Payments was introduced by the American crypto payment firm in the last quarter of 2023, replacing the well-known On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) software to serve a broader range of target customers. The latest API update, now available as a lightweight testing tool, allows customers to “try it before they buy it.”
