# API URLs

Klarna APIs are available through different base URLs relating to your location and interaction needs.To access these APIs, combine the base URL + endpoint, for example to "create an order" construct the URL to call like this: `Base URL for environment` + `/payments/v1/authorizations/`

Example url for Live environment:

`https://api.klarna.com/payments/v1/authorizations/`

Use the testing environments to get familiarized with API behaviour and try out things; use the live environments to start real transactions with Klarna.**Note:** Use `HTTPS` for all of your interactions with Klarna APIs.
