Is there anyone here with experience working on EMIS Explorer?

I successfully connected to EMIS-X using a username and password through Python. However, retrieving the token manually remains a challenge. To resolve this, I attempted authentication using a certificate. Here’s what I did:

  1. Generated a CSR and uploaded it to the portal provided by EMIS-X.
  2. Received a signed certificate from them and used it along with the private key for authentication.

Despite these steps, I am encountering a 403 Forbidden error. Could anyone provide guidance or assistance in resolving this issue?

Thank you!

Yes, I have worked with EMIS Explorer and NHS Spine APIs. A 403 Forbidden error generally means that your request is reaching the server, but it’s being rejected due to missing permissions or an authentication issue. Since you have already uploaded the CSR, received a signed certificate, and are using it with your private key.
Let me know if you have already found the solution, if not I can help you further
