Base URL differences

Please note the following when configuring your API requests. The base URL differs depending on whether you're accessing company resources or PCI-compliant environments:

  • Pliant Base URL: [...].getpliant.com/api/
  • PCI Base URL: pci[...].getpliant.com/

Using the incorrect base URL will result in authentication errors or failed requests. Ensure you're using the appropriate endpoint for your use case. PCI-compliant operations (such as processing payment card data) must use the PCI base URL to maintain compliance standards.

You can consult the specific environment URL in the related Guides or in the API Reference.

Sandbox

  • Our sandbox allows you to test and integrate our API with complete freedom and simulated test data.
  • The sandbox environment is not connected to the outside world. There are essentially no limits to the number of transactions and volumes.
  • Access can usually be granted quickly.
  • Although money, cardholders, cards and transactions are simulated, they work in the same way as in the production environment, with the same endpoints and parameters.
  • The sandbox and production environments differ only in the base URL and the OAuth2 client credentials.
  • Base URL: https://sandbox.partner-api.getpliant.com/api/

Production

  • The production environment offers full access to all credit card types issued by Pliant and to every available feature.
  • Limits are based on internal risk policies per organization.
  • Pliant grants access to the production environment under the caveat that the API consumer adheres to communicated rate and/or access limitations. Pliant may revoke production access if these limits are repeatedly exceeded.
