Request access
Email hmpps-external-api@justice.gov.uk to request access to this API and Events.
All requests will be manually approved.
If approved you will be granted a specific role that defines which API endpoints you have access to, and what data is included in the responses.
All roles provide access to a /status endpoint that can be used to verify connectivity and authentication.
You may also request access to our non-live environment for testing purposes.
You will receive access credentials including:
- API Key
- Client Certificate
For information on how to use these credentials, see our Authentication section.
