ReportingCloud: New Test Parameter for Document Quota Related Endpoints
ReportingCloud merge, convert, and findandreplace endpoints now accept an optional test parameter. Test calls bypass the document quota and produce watermarked output with a TEST MODE label, letting developers validate templates and data without consuming production quota.

The quota related endpoints merge, convert and findandreplace received the new, optional parameter test to send test calls that doesn't count against the document quota.
This parameter allows you to test your templates and data packages without affecting the document quota of your account. The resulting documents contain a TEST MODE watermark and a specific document title.
The test mode can be defined using a simple request parameter in the HTTP method call:
https://api.reporting.cloud/v1/document/merge?templateName=test.tx&test=true
