Application-restricted RESTful APIs - API key authentication to access PDS FHIR API

Personal Demographics Service (PDS) Personal Demographics Service FHIR API

Hi,
I could not authenticate to Personal Demographics Service - FHIR API - Application-restricted API by my API Key.
“Personal Demographics Service - Application-Restricted (Integration Testing)” service at my application. My application’s environment is “Integration test”

I am referring following documentation:

Application-restricted RESTful APIs - API key authentication

In above documentation, it is clearly mentioned that we can access the Application-restricted RESTful APIs using API key authentication.

The error is:

{
    "resourceType": "OperationOutcome",
    "issue": [
        {
            "severity": "error",
            "code": "forbidden",
            "details": {
                "coding": [
                    {
                        "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/R4/CodeSystem/Spine-ErrorOrWarningCode",
                        "version": "1",
                        "code": "ACCESS_DENIED",
                        "display": "Access Denied - Unauthorised"
                    }
                ]
            },
            "diagnostics": "Missing Authorization header"
        }
    ]
}

This is the URL I want to connect.

Thank You.
