How to establish an API user to access the Developer Platform

Updated over a month ago

The NHVR Developer Platform uses the same user profiles associated with accounts in the NHVR Portal. The first step to accessing the NHVR Developer Platform is to nominate 'API' users on your account within the account management section of the NHVR Portal.

Nominate an API user

Open and login to the NHVR Portal: https://www.service.nhvr.gov.au. You must be an account administrator to perform this action.

  1. Navigate to account management by using the account menu in the top navigation bar.

  2. Navigate to the Users tab and select a user.

  3. Scroll to the bottom of the user membership form until you reach the API section.

  4. Click on the API User checkbox.

API user roles and permissions

The NHVR recommends a dedicated email account is established for API user profiles rather than sharing the profile of an active user on the NHVR Portal.

The roles and permissions setup for an API user on the NHVR Portal are the same roles and permissions the user has when accessing the NHVR Developer Platform APIs.

The NHVR recommends API users are given only the roles and permissions required to access the required API services.

Logging into the Developer Platform

Open the NHVR Developer Platform: https://api-portal.nhvr.gov.au.

Click on the Login / Sign up button on the top right of the navigation bar. Login using the API user email and password.
