HOST

the header indicates what is the ultimate destination for your API deployment.

It is used by Apiary as a source location for proxy debugging and appears in code snippets as a place for requests.

You can also add suffixes which then propagate to all resources if you are not using root or want to use the URI version .

The layout and proxy also emulate the specified schema ( http

vs. https

).
