Generating Key for ACO web interface submissions

[Satyajeet Aparadh]

Hello team, 

What is the process for generating the authorization token/key for submitting using the ACO web interface API? 

Is it possible to use the Registry key to report for an ACO?

Yo cannot use a Registry token to access the Web Interface API. You will need to follow the process outlined in the "How do I Authenticate" section here https://cmsgov.github.io/beneficiary-reporting-api-docs/topics/introduction and summarized below...

In order to access the API endpoints, you will need credentials to the CMS Enterprise Portal here.

Using your account credentials you will need to authorize using the QPP Auth Service APIs and the authorization process described here to obtain a JSON Web Token (JWT). You will use this token in the Authorization header in your requests to the WI API endpoints.
