Clarification on Authentication Endpoint URL

CryptyDuke

Hello Support,

We’re currently encountering an issue while trying to reach the authentication endpoint.

We are sending our request to this full URL:
https://{BASEURL}/api/v1/utilities/authenticate

The response we receive is:
{
"code": 401,
"public message": "Invalid auth Credentials"
}
After further testing, we noticed the following:

When using the DigitalOcean link, we get a 401 Unauthorized response.
When using the app.firsmbs link, we get a 404 Not Found response.

This suggests that the correct endpoint might be the DigitalOcean link, since it returns a valid authentication-related status code

Could you please confirm if the DigitalOcean endpoint is the correct and active one for authentication?
Also, please note that we are onboarded as “APP.”

So far, we've used all our available credentials and even the test example credentials but still same issues

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Dear CryptyDuke,

The endpoint is limited to when you are listed on the taxpayer's portal.

The Taxpayer Authentication endpoint is designed to support you in onboarding taxpayers to your Access Point Provider (APP) service.

As part of the onboarding flow, Access Point Providers are required to retrieve certain e-Invoicing biodata from the taxpayer. The Taxpayer Auth Endpoint allows you to initiate this process by submitting the taxpayer’s registered email and password. Upon successful authentication, the system returns the taxpayer’s Entity ID.

Once you have the Entity ID, your APP is expected to call the Get Entity Endpoint to retrieve the taxpayer’s e-Invoicing biodata. Please note that this data will only be accessible if the taxpayer has selected your APP as their designated Access Point Provider on the e-Invoicing portal.

To facilitate your implementation, we have provisioned a test business account. You can retrieve the details of this test entity by calling the Search Entity Endpoint.
