Get Started

The Primer API is used to manage Client Sessions, Payments and saved payment methods. All other actions are either managed in the Universal Checkout implementation or in the Dashboard.

Navigate to our JIRA Service Desk to submit your inquiry. If you don’t have access, please contact your account administrator for assistance.

API Endpoint Deployments

Set the variable baseUrl of your Qodex environment to one of the following:

• Sandbox: https://api.sandbox.primer.io
• Production: https://api.primer.io

Authentication

Primer uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can manage API keys in the Developers area of the dashboard.

As API keys carry many privileges such as authorizing payments, it is important to keep them private and secure. Do not hardcode or share API keys (particularly in your source version control system), and they should only be used in your backend.

Pass the API key as apiKey in your Qodex environment variables.
