The Configuration API enables you to create a platform where you can onboard your users as account holders and create balance accounts, cards, and business accounts.

Authentication

Your Adyen contact will provide your API credential and an API key. To connect to the API, add an X-API-Key header with the API key as the value, for example:

curl
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
...

Alternatively, you can use the username and password to connect to the API using basic authentication. For example:

curl
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-U "[email protected]_BALANCE_PLATFORM":"YOUR_WS_PASSWORD" \
...

Versioning

The Configuration API supports versioning using a version suffix in the endpoint URL. This suffix has the following format: "vXX", where XX is the version number.

For example:

https://balanceplatform-api-test.adyen.com/bcl/v1/accountHolders

Going live

When going live, your Adyen contact will provide your API credential for the live environment. You can then use the API key or the username and password to send requests to https://balanceplatform-api-live.adyen.com/bcl/v1.
