A042 - 403 - Forbidden on INT

Hi,

I’m trying to call the A042 - Get Document API call but I’m getting a 403 - Forbidden error.

I can’t see what I’m doing wrong. Here are some details:

https://int.api.service.nhs.uk/referrals/FHIR/R4/Binary/6b0c6f91-f0db-40f7-9dd0-e8c2dfb1b5bb

XCorrelationId: 7F0E0798-8AED-FE40-AF58-2AFFDFE70510

The error I’m getting is:

{"resourceType": "OperationOutcome","meta": {"lastUpdated": "2026-08-11T10:17:13.584Z","profile": ["https://www.hl7.org/fhir/R4/operationoutcome.html"]},"issue": [{"severity": "error","code": "forbidden","diagnostics": "Cannot generate shared URL for download from location: nhsd-ers-fileattachments-int-staging, upload ID 162817","details": {"coding": [{"system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/http-error-codes","code": "REC_FORBIDDEN"}]}}]}

I’m passing a valid OAuth token in the Authorization header.

Do I need to get this API added to our authorised list?

Thanks in advance.

I’m having the same issue.

Hi both, the issue should now be fixed if you wish to re-test

That’s working for my now thanks!
