Is it possible to get access to test environment to this API without completing onboarding?

We are looking at using this API together with BARS and I wish to evaluate this API first.

Hi Kevin, this API appears to be on the HSCIC network and not APIM platform, if you contact [ssd.nationalservicedesk@nhs.net](mailto:ssd.nationalservicedesk@nhs.net) they should be able to provide a contact.
