All Access APIs use HTTP Basic Authentication with Base64-encoded credentials. Separate credentials exist for test (try.access.worldpay.com) and live (access.worldpay.com) environments. DNS whitelisting is required for both domains.
APIs use header-based versioning via the WP-Api-Version header in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g., 2024-06-01). Legacy APIs use media type versioning.
