# Base URL

TapTalk.io needs to use API Base URL to be able to communicate and retrieve data to TapTalk.io server.

This base URL will be used in initialization of [TapTalk.io's iOS SDK](/powertalk-chat-sdk-documentation/powertalk-ios/get-started.md#step-5-initialize-taptalk-io-in-your-application-class) or TapTalk.io's Android SDK, or to call TapTalk.io's Platform API method. You can see the implementation by accessing iOS SDK Initialization or Android SDK Initialization.

To obtain Base URL for API, simply login to [TapTalk.io Dashboard](https://dash.taptalk.io/), go to **Development** > **Configurations**. You can copy Base API URL for TapTalk.io's mobile SDK implementation or to call TapTalk.io's Platform API methods.
