The AliExpress formal test environment refers to a test environment provided by the AliExpress open platform (which is developed based on the TOP) before the software for independent software vendors (ISVs) is put online. The data used in the formal test environment must be real online data on AliExpress. An ISV can test functions of TOP interfaces in the formal test environment, but is still limited by the API invocation quantity and AliExpress application permission. For each application, the formal test environment limits the API invocation quantity to 5,000 times/day and allows a maximum of five users to grant authorization. APIs that can be invoked are consistent with the permission capability of the corresponding application.

Note: The formal test environment shares the same data with the online environment. As API write operations will directly affect the real data of online stores, the developer must use caution when initiating a request for API write operations.
