  1. Usage guidelines

Environments

Mews supports two main environments: Demo and Production. Demo can be used for integration development and testing. Production is for live customer sites.

Pricing environments

Enterprises can be configured for Gross Tax or Net Tax. In the Production environment this will depend on the individual enterprise. For development and test purposes, we have set up two versions of the Demo environment, one for Gross Tax and one for Net Tax.

  • Gross Pricing Environments: These are environments in which taxes are included in the pricing that is offered to the end customer, such as used by Germany, UK and Australia.

  • Net Pricing Environments: These are environments in which taxes are excluded from the pricing that is offered to the end customer, such as used in the USA.

Demo environments

Security Policy

IMPORTANT! The demo environments are completely public and NO REAL DATA should be used for any reason. Failure to comply with these guidelines can result in immediate suspension of the connection or denial of certification.

Platform addresses

These addresses should be used for testing and development of client applications:

  • PlatformAddress - https://api.mews-demo.com

  • WebSocketAddress - wss://ws.mews-demo.com

Mews system credentials

These login credentials can be used to access Mews Operations (for both Gross and Net Pricing Environments):

  • Mews Web Application Address - https://app.mews-demo.com

  • Email - connector-api-demo@mews.com

  • Password - connector-API-2024

Request limits

  • 3000 requests per AccessToken within 15 minutes

  • 1500 requests per endpoint per AccessToken within 15 minutes

Taxations

To obtain the applicable codes:

  1. Be sure to note the validity intervals, and monitor any government announcements for changes to tax rates. If changes occur, re-retrieve the enterprise and tax environment information to identify the new tax rate codes.

IP address allowlisting

Allowlisting (formerly called 'whitelisting') is a common security measure which can be applied to a system to allow only specified external systems to talk to it. This has traditionally been achieved using IP address-based firewall rules. However, this approach does not work with modern cloud based architectures, which use dynamic and shared IP addresses, proxy servers and elastic resources. For this reason, we do not support the use of IP address allowlists for our APIs and we cannot supply a list of IP addresses for our APIs.
