    ## Get started


    Hyperswitch provides a collection of APIs that enable you to process and
    manage payments.

    Our APIs accept and return JSON in the HTTP body, and return standard HTTP
    response codes.


    You can consume the APIs directly using your favorite HTTP/REST library.


    We have a testing environment referred to "sandbox", which you can setup to
    test API calls without

    affecting production data.

    Currently, our sandbox environment is live while our production environment
    is under development

    and will be available soon.

    You can sign up on our Dashboard to get API keys to access Hyperswitch API.


    ### Environment


    Use the following base URLs when making requests to the APIs:


    | Environment   |  Base URL                          |

    |---------------|------------------------------------|

    | Sandbox       | <https://sandbox.hyperswitch.io>   |

    | Production    | <https://api.hyperswitch.io>       |


    ## Authentication


    When you sign up on our [dashboard](https://app.hyperswitch.io) and create a
    merchant

    account, you are given a secret key (also referred as api-key) and a
    publishable key.

    You may authenticate all API requests with Hyperswitch server by providing
    the appropriate key in

    the request Authorization header.


    | Key             | 
    Description                                                                                 
    |

    |-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

    | api-key         | Private key. Used to authenticate all API requests from
    your merchant server                  |

    | publishable key | Unique identifier for your account. Used to authenticate
    API requests from your app's client  |


    Never share your secret api keys. Keep them guarded and secure.

        Use the API key created under your merchant account from the HyperSwitch
        dashboard. API key is used to authenticate API requests from your
        merchant server only. Don't expose this key on a website or embed it in
        a mobile application.
