Is there a free sandbox for the phone lookup API?

You can test the full API free in the sandbox with sample data — every endpoint, no card, nothing billed. Real lookups (LRN, CNAM, Messaging Provider, Spam Detection) are pay-as-you-go from $0.0005 with no minimums and no monthly fee.

Do I need a subscription to use the API?
