Test Data from Sandbox Environment

[RandytheRaindeer]

Hello,

I am trying to pull the test data from the sandbox environment and I was looking through this posts in the group but I wasn't successfully find a solution.

Using Postman API, I was able to get the token with the given basic authentication:

POST: https://sandbox.bcda.cms.gov/auth/token

Using the token, set the authorization to bearer token and tried GET: https://sandbox.bcda.cms.gov/api/v2/Group/all/\$export.

I also tried these:

https://sandbox.bcda.cms.gov/api/v2/Group/all/$export

https://sandbox.bcda.cms.gov/api/v2/Patient/\$export

https://sandbox.bcda.cms.gov/api/v2/Patient/$export

But all of these return 404 Page not found.

I went through the dev page and even chatgpt but I can't seem to figure it out.

I am relatively new to the API projects so I need some help...

Thank you,

Randy

Hi Randy,

Thanks for the question and welcome to BCDA! Please try the requests again with the backslash "\" character removed from the URLs. For example, please use "https://sandbox.bcda.cms.gov/api/v2/Group/all/$export".

That character "\" is only included in the sample curl requests to ensure compatibility across operating systems and command line interfaces and should be removed from requests made with Postman.

If you continue to see 404 errors after making these changes, please send us screenshots of the request and headers you are making in Postman and we can continue working to identify the issue.

Thanks,
The BCDA Team
