How do I test results that arrive over time?

Live quotes can arrive while a request is still running, but most sandbox scenarios answer at once. To test how your product shows quotes as they arrive, use one of these scenarios:

Send the scenario ID in the scenario field of one quote request, or select it for the workspace. See Sandbox scenarios.

What happens

• Three mock offers arrive about 3, 12, and 20 seconds after the request starts.
• The last offer is the cheapest, so you can check that your list sorts again when a new quote arrives.
• While the request runs, a read shows the quotes that arrived so far, with the status in_progress and the reason collecting.
• The request completes after the third offer.
• Each arrival sends the events that a live carrier answer sends, in the same order. See Webhooks.

What to check

• Your product shows the first quote while the request is still running.
• Each new quote joins the list without a reload, and the list stays in your order.
• Your reads wait for the result as Get quote results describes, and stop once the request finishes.

Live renters quotes arrive together. See How long until quotes finish?.
