title: Checkout.com API Reference Digital cards API
description: '## Get started
Checkout.com provides a collection of APIs that enable you to integrate with our various products and services.
Our APIs accept and return JSON in the HTTP body, and return standard HTTP response codes. You can consume the APIs directly using any HTTP or REST library.
Sign up for a test account to gain access to the sandbox environment, where you can test API calls without affecting live data.
For more information, see:
- API endpoints
- API rate limits
- API changes
- Idempotency
- Private connections
## Base URLs
The base URLs you must use for your API calls to the sandbox and production environments are unique to you.
- `https://{prefix}.api.sandbox.checkout.com/{path}`
- `https://{prefix}.api.checkout.com/{path}`
- `https://{prefix}.access.sandbox.checkout.com/{path}`
- `https://{prefix}.access.checkout.com/{path}`
The unique API endpoint host names resolve to Checkout.com''s IP addresses. Do not allowlist these IP addresses.
The `{prefix}` value in each base URL is a string containing the first eight characters of each of your environments'' unique `client_id`, excluding the `cli_` prefix.
To find your unique base URL:
1. Sign in to the Dashboard environment you want to retrieve the base URL for:
- Sandbox
- Production
2. Go to _Developers_ > _Overview_.
Your unique base URL is displayed on the _Developer overview_ page. For example, `https://vkuhvk4v.api.checkout.com`.
3. Alternatively, go to _Settings_ > _Account details_.
Your unique base URL is displayed under _Connection settings_.
If you are unsure of your client ID or base URL for either environment, contact your account manager or request support.
For more information, see API endpoints.
## Authentication
When you sign up for an account, you can authenticate with either Access keys (OAuth 2.0), or Secret API keys.
Unless explicitly stated, all endpoints require authentication using either your Access or Secret API Keys. Public keys should only be used in JavaScript or native applications.
- **Client-side authentication**. Use your public key for client-side authentication. It only has access to a limited set of our APIs – mostly those called as part of your payment environment.
- **Server-to-server authentication**. Use your secret key or OAuth for server-to-server communication. Support for API keys depends on the endpoint.
Never share your OAuth credentials, API keys, or access tokens. Keep them guarded and secure.'
