The Sandbox environment provides a series of looping AFL match replays that can be used to develop applications against "live" matches. Sandbox requires authorisation, but all accounts with access to the Production environment can also access Sandbox.

warning

Champion Data reserves the right to change which matches are available from the Sandbox without prior notification. We strongly advise against building applications that depend on the continuing availability for any particular Sandbox data set.
