Dear Community,

We’re currently implementing Odoo on Odoo.sh for a client, with the goal of enhancing certain data flows using AI agents. For this we need API keys, and I’d like to clarify the best practices around managing them across environments.

I’m already familiar with the stages, branches, and build logic of Odoo.sh. In production and staging, I created a dedicated user and generated an API key, which works fine.

My main question is about the testing environment. Since Odoo.sh rebuilds the environment from scratch, what is the recommended approach to ensure stable API access?

• Should I use the testing branch to test API connections, or is there a better workflow?
• If API access is possible in testing, which user account should be used: the default admin or a separate dedicated account?

Any advice or best practices from your experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
