有了新的 Merchant Center 帳戶和憑證，您應該就能使用 Content API for Shopping 測試程式碼。如果您剛開始使用 Content API，請參閱入門指南，瞭解如何搭配 Python 用戶端程式庫使用測試環境，或前往範例和程式庫頁面，查看程式碼範例，測試新的測試環境。
API 仍會執行驗證檢查，針對常見錯誤 (例如缺少必填欄位) 提供意見回饋，但不會執行資料品質檢查，因為上傳的產品都會自動遭到拒登。

To test this API, create a separate Merchant Center test account. This includes creating a new Google account, setting up a new Merchant Center account without website validation, and creating a new developer project to enable the Content API. Generate credentials, ideally using service accounts, for testing. Note that the test account will likely be suspended for invalid products, but this will not impact the API testing.\n"],null,["# Test your code\n\nTo test code that uses the Content API for Shopping, we suggest creating a\nseparate Merchant Center account devoted solely to testing. This lets you run\nboth manual and automated tests for code that uses the Content API for Shopping\nwithout impacting active feeds or Shopping campaigns.\n\nSet up your test environment\n----------------------------\n\n1. [Create a new Google account](//support.google.com/accounts/answer/27441)\n that will be associated with the Merchant Center account. Sign in to and use\n the new Google account for the following steps.\n\n2. Follow the steps in [Getting Started](/shopping-content/guides/quickstart) to\n set up a new Merchant Center account. You don't need to validate the website\n URL for the testing account.\n\n3. [Create a new developer\n project](/shopping-content/guides/quickstart#create-a-google-api-console-project)\n in the [API Console](//console.developers.google.com/), and enable the Content\n API for Shopping for that project.\n\n4. Create appropriate credentials for the code you plan to test. For test code,\n we suggest you use the service account flow described in the [Service Accounts\n guide](/shopping-content/guides/how-tos/service-accounts) for your testing\n framework to avoid having to deal with requesting permission, access tokens,\n and refresh tokens.\n\nWith your new Merchant Center account and credentials, you should be ready to\ntest your code with the Content API for Shopping. If you're just getting\nstarted with the Content API, read the [Getting Started\nguide](/shopping-content/guides/quickstart) to learn how to use your test\nenvironment with the Python client library, or visit our [Samples and Libraries\npage](/shopping-content/guides/libraries), where you can find code examples\nwith which you can test your new test environment.\n| **Note:** We expect that you won't be using a valid storefront website URL for your testing Merchant Center, so your account will eventually be suspended for invalid products.This is expected and won't affect your testing of the Content API.\n\nThe API will still perform validation checks, which provide\nfeedback to common errors such as missing required fields, but data quality\nchecks won't be performed, as any uploaded products will be automatically\ndisapproved."]]
