 Default configuration comes with `Servers` field that contains server objects as defined in the OpenAPI specification.
 
+### Overriding the OSS Index URL
+
+You can override the default OSS Index server URL (https://ossindex.sonatype.org) using the `SetOSSIndexURL` method:
+
+```go
+configuration := ossindex.NewConfiguration()
+configuration.SetOSSIndexURL("https://custom.ossindex.example.com")
+apiClient := ossindex.NewAPIClient(configuration)
+```
+
+This is useful for:
+- Using a custom OSS Index instance
+- Testing against a local or staging environment
+- Routing requests through a proxy or gateway
+
+Example with localhost:
+```go
+configuration := ossindex.NewConfiguration()
+configuration.SetOSSIndexURL("http://localhost:8080")
+apiClient := ossindex.NewAPIClient(configuration)
+```
+
 ### Select Server Configuration
 
 For using other server than the one defined on index 0 set context value `ossindex.ContextServerIndex` of type `int`.
