# Introduction

## Getting Started

Every network request should be sent with the following headers:

| **Header**     | **Value**          |
| -------------- | ------------------ |
| `Accept`       | `application/json` |
| `Content-Type` | `application/json` |

### Environments

Payscore provides two environments: staging and production. The staging environment uses the following url:

```ruby
https://api.staging.payscore.com
```

Use the staging environment for development, as no charges will occur. For access to the staging environment, reach out to <support@payscore.com> and you will be provided a login.

The production environment is where all live production traffic should take place. Once you’re ready to gain production access, reach out to our team and we’ll provide you with a production login. Our production environment uses the following url:

```ruby
https://api.payscore.com
```
