The API is accessed using a base URL that is specific to your account. In the examples provided in this documentation, we use the URL youraccountname.api-us1.com as a stand-in for your real account API URL. Your API URL can be found in your account on the My Settings page under the "Developer" tab. In addition, URL paths should begin with /api/3 to specify version 3 of the API. Generally, the URL will be in the form https://<your-account>.api-us1.com/api/3/<resource>. All API calls should be made over HTTPS.
