# Getting Started

To get started with the KYC REST API you need a few things.

## Endpoints

The production API endpoints vary by hotel brand along with global partitions and regions.
You will be given the proper endpoint by your KYC contact.

## Paths

In addition to the URL, each endpoint will have additional path elements, currently:
/public-api/v1
All documentation will be from this point, so /guests will actually be:  [https://public-api.greathotel.kych.co/public-api/v1/guests](https://public-api.greathotel.kych.co/public-api/v1/guests)

## Sandbox

A generic testing sandbox is available on a limited basis for integration testing.

In addition, some hotel brands have additional sandbox environments available with their particular configurations.

## API Testing

Test modes will be available in the future, similar to how Stripe handles non-production testing.

In this mode, you will be able to read data, but all writes will be simulated, though fully validated.
