# 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.
