Our integration with e-RS in the INT environment is returning ODS codes for some services which are not found when looking up via [uat.directory.spineservices.nhs.uk](http://uat.directory.spineservices.nhs.uk/)

e.g for RJQ47

[https://uat.directory.spineservices.nhs.uk/STU3/Organization/RJQ47](https://uat.directory.spineservices.nhs.uk/STU3/Organization/RJQ47)

What is the url for the ODS INT Environment endpoint?

Hi @matthew.feerick,

The ODS team would be best to comment, and I can see you have also posted a [question in the ODS category](https://developer.community.nhs.uk/t/ods-int-environment-endpoint/3042).

My suspicion is that the UAT environment supported by the [Organisation Data Service - FHIR API](https://digital.nhs.uk/developer/api-catalogue/organisation-data-service-fhir) is not the same as the Integration (INT) environment to which the e-RS integrates.

[The new Organisation Data Terminology - FHIR API](https://digital.nhs.uk/developer/api-catalogue/organisation-data-terminology) does appear to connect to the Integration (INT) environment (see [Environments and testing](https://digital.nhs.uk/developer/api-catalogue/organisation-data-terminology#overview--environments-and-testing)).

According to [Choosing an ODS API](https://digital.nhs.uk/services/organisation-data-service/organisation-data-service-apis/choosing-an-organisation-data-service-api#choosing-an-ods-api) the [The new Organisation Data Terminology - FHIR API](https://digital.nhs.uk/developer/api-catalogue/organisation-data-terminology) is intended to replace [Organisation Data Service - FHIR API](https://digital.nhs.uk/developer/api-catalogue/organisation-data-service-fhir).

Again though I would wait for the ODS team to confirm.

Regards,

Adam.
