# PACT Footprints

<Note>
  The path is relative to your company specific url:

  https\://**your\_subdomain**.variable.global/api
</Note>

<Tip>
  **Only footprints that are valid according to the PACT standard will show in the API, regardless of the sharing
  setting.**

  This generally means footprints that have all of the required fields filled out.
  Details on the PACT standard and required fields can be found [in the PACT
  documentation](https://wbcsd.github.io/data-exchange-protocol/v2).
</Tip>
