Braintree is a payment service provider owned by PayPal. It allows you to accept online payments from customers in your applications by providing you with client-side and server-side Software Development Kits (SDKs).

This course explains Braintree APIs to create a transaction. The client SDK provides tools and techniques to securely collect payment information, while the server SDK consists of tools to enable secure processing of the collected payment information. You will learn both the client-side and server-side implementations in detail. After that, the course will provide hands-on experience of creating a transaction using Braintree APIs. Finally, you will interact with a demo Fruit Buying application written in React that accepts payments using the Braintree gateway.

Getting Started with Braintree API

Braintree provides us with server-side SDKs in different languages such as Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, etc. These SDKs allow us to integrate Braintree functionality at our back-end.

# Setup

The first step of integrating Braintree at our server is to install and configure the Braintree server-side SDK. In this lesson, we will be looking into examples of _Python_, _Node_, and _Ruby_ SDKs.

## Installation

First of all, we need to install the Braintree server-side SDK. The installation commands for different SDKs are given below.

>**Note:** For *Ruby*, add the `braintree` gem to the project's **Gemfile** and run `bundle install` to install it.

Python

Node

Ruby

## Configuration

Next, we need to configure the Braintree gateway and add the API credentials. We need the following three API keys:
1. Merchant ID
2. Public Key
3. Private Key

>**Note:** If you haven't gotten your API keys yet, go through this [guide](https://developer.paypal.com/braintree/articles/control-panel/important-gateway-credentials) to obtain them from your Braintree sandbox account.

The server-side configuration code for Braintree is given below:
