metered events not working on the sandbox

Our web app is having trouble connecting to the metered events for the sandbox api.

we are sending a post to: https://apisandbox.dev.clover.com/v3/...

It includes the correct api key in the header, but we receive: {"message":"401 Unauthorized"}

Is there something incorrect about the request or are metered events not available in the sandbox?

Yes, you can create metered events in the sandbox. Note that this is a test environment so no test merchants will actually be billed for the event. I just created a sample metered event on my test merchant and it worked fine.

I made a POST request to: https://apisandbox.dev.clover.com/v3/... with an empty body.

Thanks, turns out it was error on our end. However, even though this is a test merchant, should we still see charges appearing in the developer dashboard or would charges only appear if the merchant is a true merchant?

Charges will not appear in the merchant dashboard since this is not a real merchant that can be billed. Instead you can use these APIs to verify the metered event was saved: https://sandbox.dev.clover.com/apidocs#!/apps/GetMerchantAppMeteredEvents https://sandbox.dev.clover.com/apidocs#!/apps/GetMerchantAppMeteredEvent
