How do I become a SIMS Developer account holder and access this API sandbox? is there a cost or addtional license?

Interesting thread. Altough I am late to this I am keen to know how eveyone tested their outputs? Schools generally dont grant access to their live SIMS schools data as it could breach GDPR guidlines. Is their a SIMS test sandbox enviroment that eveyone uses? As a parent I would not be over the moon if my childs and my personal data was being used for competitive purpose and gain.

The SIMS Partnership certainly was expensive but when I last enquired about integation to SIMS I was surprised to learn that their whole partner model had changed in regards to pricing and API access. If fact I was quoted as little as £15 per school for basic SIMS Data via somehting they call DEX ? - this seemed to offer a way to access data for School via the cloud ... There where other options around support services and access to SIMS Software and test datasets but there was a cost for these.. seemed quite a bit cheaper then their older model fro memory .. There was also free to use test Sandbox enviroment? where you could register to access and test the API at no cost.. I also assume that a schools SIMS license agreement prob only covers for the purpose intended and not valid against developing soltutions. I dont think any school would allow an external person to access live data let alone to test a solution against it ! I did find the following website a few months back.. it was verified as a Capita SIMS sites on another thread when a queryied it.. http://www.sims-partners.com

Whilst searching for SIMS integration options I came across this website http://www.sims-partners.com . It’s seems to contain a huge set of detail on integrating to SIMS. Does anyone know if this is a legit Capita site? Seems like it too me.
