AppFolio Local Dev Loop

Overview

Local development workflow for AppFolio property management API integration. Provides a fast feedback loop with mock property, tenant, and lease endpoints so you can build and test integrations without consuming live API quota. Toggle between mock mode for rapid iteration and sandbox mode for pre-deployment validation against the real AppFolio Stack API.

Prerequisites

• A mock-only local environment with synthetic property, tenant, lease, and work-order fixtures that contain no production addresses, names, or payments.
• A separately managed sandbox credential and an approved safe-read fixture for the dedicated integration lane; it is never loaded by the local dev server.
• A log policy that records request shape and status only, plus an explicit owner for sandbox quota, fixture reset, and credential rotation.
