Obtain the base URL for REST/gRPC requests

Overview

When interacting with the Sift API, whether through REST or gRPC, every request must be properly authenticated to ensure secure and authorized access to your data and services.

A critical part of authentication is specifying the base URL, which tells your application exactly where to send API requests. The base URL identifies the specific Sift API server your project is connected to, and ensures that your requests reach the correct environment, whether using REST or gRPC.

The REST or gRPC base URL can be obtained through the Sift user interface.

Instructions

To obtain the REST or gRPC base URL in the Sift user interface:

1. Click your profile icon, which shows the first initial of your account name.
2. Select Manage.
3. In the Manage navigation menu, click API Keys.
