There are a couple of different XAPI services out there, all run by
3rd parties. They all rely on the planet file that is produced from
the main database every week, plus the minutely diffs to stay up to
date.

The test database that the dev server points at is not a mirror of the
real database. It only has whatever data in it that people have
uploaded to test things in the past. It also does not produce a planet
file or minutely diffs so it cannot be used to based an XAPI service
on.
