# Libraries

We provide server-side API libraries in several languages. Libraries are connected to managed package systems (Composer, Gradle, Maven, npm, NuGet, PyPi, RubyGems), which make them easy to include in your project.

## How it works

Installing a library is not required, but will save you development time, because a library:

* Uses an API version that is up to date.

* Has generated models to help you construct requests.

  For a point-of-sale integration with Terminal API, the libraries are wrappers around Terminal API. They include the models to create Terminal API requests.

  * If your Terminal API integration uses cloud communications, you can use the C#, Go, Java, Node, PHP, or Ruby libraries.

  * If your Terminal API integration uses local communications, you can use the C#, Java, or Node libraries. These also take care of [protecting local communications](/point-of-sale/design-your-integration/choose-your-architecture/local#protect-communications).

* Sends the request to Adyen using its built-in HTTP client, so you do not have to create your own.

For your library of choice:

1. Make sure to comply with the requirements.
2. Install the library.
3. Make a test payment request, as described [below](#libraries).

## Available libraries

### Tab: Java

##### Try our example integration

![](/user/pages/reuse/development-resources/api-libraries/gitpod-icon.png)  [Run it in Gitpod](https://github.com/adyen-examples/adyen-java-spring-online-payments#checkout-example).\
![](/user/pages/reuse/development-resources/api-libraries/github-icon.png)  [Clone the repository](https://github.com/adyen-examples/adyen-java-spring-online-payments).

#### Requirements

* Java 11 or later.

#### Installation

You can use [Maven](https://maven.apache.org), adding this dependency to your project's POM.

**Add the API library**

```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.adyen</groupId>
  <artifactId>adyen-java-api-library</artifactId>
  <version>LATEST_VERSION</version>
</dependency>
```

You can find the latest version on GitHub. Alternatively, you can download the [release on GitHub](https://github.com/Adyen/adyen-java-api-library/releases).

#### Using the library

Set up the client as a singleton resource that you use for the API requests to Adyen and make a test payment request. For example, to make a test credit card payment for **10** EUR (**1000** in minor units):

**Make a test payment request using the API library**

```java
// Import the required classes
import com.adyen.Client;
import com.adyen.enums.Environment;
import com.adyen.service.checkout.PaymentsApi;
import com.adyen.model.checkout.*;

// Setup the client and service.
Client client = new Client("ADYEN_API_KEY", Environment.TEST);
PaymentsApi paymentsApi = new PaymentsApi(client);

// Create a payment request.
PaymentRequest paymentRequest = new PaymentRequest();
paymentRequest.setMerchantAccount("YOUR_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT");
CardDetails cardDetails = new CardDetails();
    cardDetails.encryptedCardNumber("test_4111111111111111")
        .encryptedSecurityCode("test_737")
        .encryptedExpiryMonth("test_03")
        .encryptedExpiryYear("test_2030");
paymentRequest.setPaymentMethod(new CheckoutPaymentMethod(cardDetails));
Amount amount = new Amount().currency("EUR").value(1000L);
paymentRequest.setAmount(amount);
paymentRequest.setReference("My first Adyen test payment with an API library/SDK");
paymentRequest.setReturnUrl("https://your-company.example.com/checkout?shopperOrder=12xy..");

// Add your idempotency key.
RequestOptions requestOptions = new RequestOptions();
requestOptions.setIdempotencyKey("YOUR_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY");

// Make a request to the /payments endpoint.
PaymentResponse paymentResponse = paymentsApi.payments(paymentRequest, requestOptions);
```
