# Access Setup

Product: Account API
Guides follow API reference 0.3.0 and event reference 0.2.0.
Canonical page: https://docs.axiym.io/account-api/integration-guide/access-setup

Access setup is completed before an organization can call the Account API. It
covers approval, access to your Axiym accounts, address book entry setup,
credentials, network requirements, and webhook delivery.

## What Axiym provides

For each environment, Axiym provides:

* the Account API base URL;
* OAuth `client_id`, `client_secret`, and scope;
* confirmation of accessible accounts;
* confirmation of available address book entries and their status;
* confirmation that withdrawal webhook events are enabled;
* agreed sandbox account, address book entry, withdrawal, and webhook test data.

Sandbox and production are separate environments. Each environment has its own
base URL, credentials, webhook subscriptions, and data.

## Base URLs

| Environment | Base URL                                      |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Sandbox     | `https://partner-api.sandbox.axiym.io/api/v1` |
| Production  | `https://partner-api.axiym.io/api/v1`         |

## Network access

Confirm any egress allowlisting, inbound firewall, or other network
requirements with Axiym for the relevant environment. Webhook delivery is
configured through the API after access is provisioned.

## Before development

* Onboarding and API approval requirements are confirmed.
* Sandbox base URL and OAuth credentials have been issued.
* Sandbox accounts and address book entries with the required status are available.
* Withdrawal webhook events are agreed.
* Credentials are stored securely.

## Before production

* Production API approval is complete.
* Production base URL and OAuth credentials have been issued.
* Production accounts and address book entries with the required status are confirmed.
* Webhook receiver, signature verification, and retry handling have been tested.
* Withdrawal creation, confirmation, and reconciliation behavior have been tested in
  sandbox.
