The Balance Control API lets you transfer funds between merchant accounts that belong to the same legal entity and are under the same company account. ## Authentication To connect to the Balance Control API, you must authenticate your requests with an [API key or basic auth username and password](https://docs.adyen.com/development-resources/api-authentication). To learn how you can generate these, see [API credentials](https://docs.adyen.com/development-resources/api-credentials).Here is an example of authenticating a request with an API key: ``` curl -H "X-API-Key: Your_API_key" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ ... ``` Note that when going live, you need to generate API credentials to access the [live endpoints](https://docs.adyen.com/development-resources/live-endpoints). ## Versioning The Balance Control API supports [versioning](https://docs.adyen.com/development-resources/versioning) using a version suffix in the endpoint URL. This suffix has the following format: "vXX", where XX is the version number. For example: ``` https://pal-test.adyen.com/pal/servlet/BalanceControl/v1/balanceTransfer ```
