# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developer.sahamati.org.in/onboarding-to-saans/access-aggregated-data-from-sahamati/how-to-access-the-saans-api.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
