  Clear provides a dedicated sandbox environment separated from production by host. The
  sandbox base host for India is api-sandbox.clear.in; production is api.clear.in. Base URL
  also varies by region (India vs KSA). Sandbox access requires an API client secret
  generated from the Clear UI.

  against non-production government-integration environments.
