title: Adyen Checkout API
description: >-
Adyen Checkout API provides a simple and flexible way to initiate and
authorise online payments. You can use the same integration for payments
made with cards (including 3D Secure), mobile wallets, and local payment
methods (for example, iDEAL and Sofort).
This API reference provides information on available endpoints and how to
interact with them. To learn more about the API, visit [online payments
documentation](https://docs.adyen.com/online-payments).
## Authentication
Each request to Checkout API must be signed with an API key. For this, [get
your API
key](https://docs.adyen.com/development-resources/api-credentials#generate-api-key)
from your Customer Area, and set this key to the `X-API-Key` header value,
for example:
```
curl
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
...
```
## Versioning
Checkout API supports
[versioning](https://docs.adyen.com/development-resources/versioning) using
a version suffix in the endpoint URL. This suffix has the following format:
"vXX", where XX is the version number.
For example:
```
https://checkout-test.adyen.com/v71/payments
```
## Going live
To access the live endpoints, you need an API key from your live Customer
Area.
The live endpoint URLs contain a prefix which is unique to your company
account, for example:
```
https://{PREFIX}-checkout-live.adyenpayments.com/checkout/v71/payments
```
Get your `{PREFIX}` from your live Customer Area under **Developers** >
**API URLs** > **Prefix**.
When preparing to do live transactions with Checkout API, follow the
[go-live
checklist](https://docs.adyen.com/online-payments/go-live-checklist) to make
sure you've got all the required configuration in place.

Cancels the authorisation on a payment that has not yet been
[captured](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/#/CheckoutService/latest/post/payments/{paymentPspReference}/captures),
and returns a unique reference for this request. You get the outcome of
the request asynchronously, in a [**TECHNICAL_CANCEL**
webhook](https://docs.adyen.com/online-payments/cancel#cancellation-webhook).
If you want to cancel a payment using the
[`pspReference`](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/#/CheckoutService/latest/post/payments__resParam_pspReference),
use the
[`/payments/{paymentPspReference}/cancels`](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/#/CheckoutService/latest/post/payments/{paymentPspReference}/cancels)
endpoint instead.
If you want to cancel a payment but are not sure whether it has been
captured, use the
[`/payments/{paymentPspReference}/reversals`](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/#/CheckoutService/latest/post/payments/{paymentPspReference}/reversals)
endpoint instead.
