# Introduction to the Bob Pay API

The Bob Pay API enables seamless integration with Bob Pay, allowing you to start accepting payments quickly and easily.

## Getting started

Before going live, you can use the fully functional sandbox environment to test and implement your API integration. This environment mirrors the behaviour of the production system but does not process real transactions, providing a safe space for testing.

To begin, register for a [sandbox account](https://sandbox.bobpay.co.za/) to obtain your API keys, which can be found in the settings menu. The sandbox environment supports all available endpoints.

**Sandbox base URL:** [https://api.sandbox.bobpay.co.za/v2/](https://api.sandbox.bobpay.co.za/v2/)

## Switching to production

When you're ready to go live, you can transition from the sandbox to the production environment by updating the endpoint URLs and API keys.

**Production base URL:** [https://api.bobpay.co.za/v2/](https://api.bobpay.co.za/v2/)
