For developers
Your first API call
The hosted card form runs in your customer's browser, so it cannot use your API key. Your server's first call starts a temporary session with your API key, and the response is a session token for the form.
curl -X POST https://service.pcibooking.net/api/payments/paycard/tempsession \
-H "Authorization: APIKEY YOUR_API_KEY"For reference, from the developer docs: Quickstart, step 1: Authenticate. The docs have the current version.
