API error - Authenticate, Transmit

SathishJegadessan

We are developing the integration with FİRS API as Access Point Provider. We got an error when accessing the following endpoints.

api/v1/utilities/authenticate
{ "code": 403, "data": null, "message": "error has occurred", "error": { "id": "064dd822-c756-486d-95e4-adee0f11ccac", "handler": "entity_actions", "public_message": "access denied. user does not have access to this resource" } }
api/v1/invoice/transmit/{{TEST_IRN}} Error
{ "code": 403, "data": null, "message": "error has occurred", "error": { "id": "78e51130-02ec-4804-b1a1-ea5e92aed335", "handler": "entity_actions", "public_message": "access denied. user does not have access to this resource" } } Please advice the procedure to use the Authenticate and Transmit endpoints.

Please let us know how to resolve these issues.

We would like to know the procedure to add the buyer or supplier to the AP in e-invoice FİRS portal so that we can test the transmission of the invoices, and acknowledgement of the invoices.

Thanks

Dear @SathishJegadessan,

Kindly note that only a certified service provider can call this endpoint. You may connect with any of them here. https://einvoice.firs.gov.ng/search-approved-service-providers?type=app

Hello FIRS Support,

Does this mean that while integrating to become an APP, we can't utilize the transmission endpoint as a potential APP ?

SysAdmin

You can @Owoeye.

Hello FIRS support,

We have a tax payers account and all our credentials is obtained from the dashboard, yet we got this error.

How can an APP get test credentials for the authentication endpoint since they're yet to be listed as a certified APP

SysAdmin

There are no test credentials available for the authentication endpoint due to access control restrictions.

However, this does not limit your ability as an APP to simulate the authentication flow. Since the authentication response returns the Entity ID, and this Entity ID is already included as part of your test business credentials, you can retrieve and utilize it directly from there to proceed with your simulation.

This approach allows you to mimic the real authentication process without requiring live credentials.
