If you are a Developer Preview participant, our team will automatically issue you a Production API Token using a process similar to the one that we used to distribute the Preview API Tokens. All you need to do in order to continue testing is to replace your existing API token with the new one. None of the endpoints are changing and none of the data you have submitted will be disturbed. The new tokens will remain valid throughout the QPP Year 1 reporting and not expire until December 1, 2018.
Roadmap to Production
We will continue to iterate the API in the following ways between now and December 15, 2017:
- fix bugs
- add the ability to submit QRDA III files via the API
- add the ability to submit QCDR Measures via the API
On December 15, we will shut down the endpoints in preparation for the opening of the official QPP Submissions window on January 1. During this time the endpoints will be inaccessible and all data in the system will be deleted. When the official QPP Submissions window opens on January 1, Production API Token holders can begin submitting official data for QPP Program Year 1 (2017) using the same endpoints at the same URLs as they have been using in the Developer Preview program.
