# Early access

> How API early access works and what to expect.

## Requesting access

Submit the [API access request](https://hillsmusic.com/apply/?type=api). Tell us what you want to integrate and roughly how many releases and requests you expect. We get back to you within 1–3 business days.

## What you get

- A **sandbox** environment with test data, separate from your live catalog.
- **API keys** managed by your account owner in the workspace.
- Access to reference pages as each area of v1 is published.
- A direct line to our engineering team for feedback during early access.

## Changes during early access

Endpoints in early access can still change. We announce changes in advance to every early-access partner, and stable versions are versioned so integrations don't break.
