REST APIs
Create your own payment acceptance and processing using REST API fields to request
and receive information in a raw form where you have full control. APIs enable
communication between a client and server using HTTP protocols. This connection
allows the client and server to communicate without establishing a communication
channel or having to manage the state between systems.
What are APIs?

- Each request is independent.
- Architecture is simplified through uniform standards.
- REST messages contains an endpoint, HTTP method, headers, and a body.
- You can use theCybersourceREST API reference to easily test requests.
When to use?
- When you want complete control of your payment acceptance and processing
- No compromise to your brand or UI/UX
- Customize your requests to receive information you need only
