The Connect API has different hosts from Composable Commerce HTTP API [hosts](https://docs.commercetools.com/connect/api/general-concepts#hosts). You can access the Connect API at the following URLs:

(a CSV formatted table follows. The first line are the column names.)
Region,API URL
Europe (Google Cloud, Belgium),`https://connect.europe-west1.gcp.commercetools.com/`
Europe (AWS, Frankfurt),`https://connect.eu-central-1.aws.commercetools.com/`
North America (Google Cloud, Iowa),`https://connect.us-central1.gcp.commercetools.com/`
North America (AWS, Ohio),`https://connect.us-east-2.aws.commercetools.com/`

If documentation refers to `https://connect.{region}.commercetools.com`, you should use the respective API URL of the Region that hosts your Project.

# Authorization

The Connect API uses tokens from Composable Commerce HTTP API [authorization flows](https://docs.commercetools.com/connect/api/authorization) with the following scopes:

- `manage_project:{projectKey}`: grants permission to use all Connect API endpoints in a Project. To access individual API endpoints, use more selective permissions.
- `view_connectors:{projectKey}`: grants permission to view [Connectors](https://docs.commercetools.com/connect/connect/connectors) in a Project.
- `manage_connectors:{projectKey}`: grants permission to view, create, update, and delete [Connectors](https://docs.commercetools.com/connect/connect/connectors) in a Project.
- `view_connectors_deployments:{projectKey}`: grants permission to view [Deployments](https://docs.commercetools.com/connect/connect/deployments) in a Project.
- `manage_connectors_deployments:{projectKey}`: grants permission to view, create, update, and delete [Deployments](https://docs.commercetools.com/connect/connect/deployments) in a Project.
- `manage_api_clients:{projectKey}`: grants permission to create [automatically generated API Client credentials](https://docs.commercetools.com/connect/modify-connector).
