# How to access the SAANS API

1. **Create a public endpoint:** Set up an endpoint to receive notifications from the SAANS Health API service as per the specs mentioned below.
2. **Whitelist IPs on your Firewall:** Whitelist the following IP addresses on your Firewall:
   * "20.204.209.246"
   * "13.71.48.89"
3. **Authenticate the Request:** To further authenticate the request from the SAANS health API:
   * The API sends an `Authorization` header in the request with a bearer token.
   * Validate the token with the Sahamati token service’s public certificate. The validation works same way as the signing of the API request body in the AA Specs
   * Refer to [this guide](https://github.com/Sahamati/FIP-Health-API-Specs/blob/main/Release%20Note.md#link-to-validation-guide) for instructions on validating JWT with a public key.
4. **Fill in the Form:** Complete the information in the following form: [Form Link](https://forms.gle/F3fhxHzQzeEZUKBx6)
5. After filling the form send email to <memberservices@sahamati.org.in>
6. **Deploy on your endpoint:** You will start receiving notifications on your configured endpoint on a T+1 basis.
