Getting Access
==============

This guide explains how to get credentials and connect to the Piaxis Payment API as a third-party.

Credentials
-----------

You will receive one or more of the following, depending on the payment method you integrate:

* **API Key** for direct server-to-server calls.
* **OAuth2 client credentials** (client_id/client_secret) for flows that require end-user authorization.

Base URLs
---------

Your Piaxis contact will provide the production and (if available) sandbox base URL.

Interactive Docs
----------------

* Swagger UI: ``/docs``
* ReDoc: ``/redoc``

Security Notes
--------------

* Keep API keys and client secrets on the server (never ship them in mobile/web clients).
* Use HTTPS for all requests.
* Validate webhook signatures (see :doc:`external_api/webhooks`).
