base_url - Nowhere to be seen, where can I find this URL?

Hi All,
I feel like I am on another planet. I am doing a codecademy course, and the developers screen shows a version of your API docs that has the base_url prominently displayed in the top left of the screen. This no longer seems to be present. The task I am on is asking me to use the docs to identify the base_url. To help further my education in documentation reading, is there a page I should navigate to to find mention of the base_url as a base_url in isolation with no other requests appended to it?

So you'd set it up like

Ah I can see that you do provide an example request after giving me access to the API token. I would welcome a signpost to any other reference to your base URL, as I would still say I am not 100% confident.
