The Cloud Elements base URL differs depending on your region and environment:
| Region | Production Environment | Staging Environment |
|---|---|---|

HTTP requests to the REST API are protected with HTTP Custom authentication with your Organization and User secret and an element instance token. We use many standard HTTP features, like HTTP verbs, understood by most HTTP clients. JSON is returned in all responses from the API, including errors. The APIs have predictable, straightforward URLs and use HTTP response codes to indicate API errors.
