Do I need a wallet address for testnet API?
I'm diving into the testnet web API and trying to understand if a wallet address and coins are necessary to use it. I've noticed the documentation doesn't seem to require these fields for operation. Can the API function without them, or do I need to set up a wallet anyway?

2For the Testnet web API, you do not need to use your own wallet address and coins. The aggregator doesn't send transactions on the Sui network, so these aren't required. The aggregator component doesn't perform any on-chain actions, so you can proceed without a wallet. However, the publisher and daemon components require a Sui Testnet wallet, as they do on-chain actions.
If you're just focusing on the aggregator API, you can skip setting up a wallet for the Testnet. It works independently of a personal wallet set up.
