API Endpoints

The API endpoint (URI or URL) must point to either the Test or Production (live) environment.

Test API endpoint: https://api.test.paysafe.com/
For example: https://api.test.paysafe.com/threedsecure/v2/accounts/account_id
Production API endpoint: https://api.paysafe.com/
For example: https://api.paysafe.com/threedsecure/v2/accounts/account_id

API Endpoint Patterns

The API endpoints typically conform to the pattern of the example below:

https://api.test.paysafe.com/threedsecure/v2/accounts/account_id/authentications

Replace the elements in the API endpoint example above as follows:

Element	Usage
test	Use test for a test transaction. Remove the word test for a live transaction.
threedsecure	Replace with the API you are using. The available values are: 3D Secure API – threedsecure Card Payments API – cardpayments Customer Vault API – customervault Direct Debit API – directdebit Alternate Payments API – alternatepayments
v2	This is the version of the API.
account_id	Replace with your unique merchant account number. Merchants can have multiple accounts, for example to process payments in different currencies. All accounts can be set up to use the same API key.

Refer to the table below for further examples.

API Request	Used To	Endpoint Pattern
Authentication	Authenticate a card with 3D Secure 2.	POST/threedsecure/v2/accounts/account_id/authentications
Get Authentication	Look up an authentication request.	GET/threedsecure/v2/accounts/account_id/authentications/authentication_id

In the above examples replace account_id with your unique merchant account number and replace id with the unique ID of the original transaction.
Some API endpoints include multiple parameters. For example, to look up an authentication request, both account_id and authentication_id must be included.
