`REC_BAD_REQUEST` When Fetching Slots

e-Referral Service (e-RS)

I’ve been trying to fetch slots in the sandbox environment using the Booking and Referral - FHIR API v1.3.0 and this reference. However, even though I provide a valid bearer, I receive an error.

https://digital.nhs.uk/developer/api-catalogue/booking-and-referral-fhir/v1.3.0#get-/Slot

I tried with the sample data:

curl -X GET "https://sandbox.api.service.nhs.uk/booking-and-referral/FHIR/R4/Slot?status=free&start=2025-03-01T12%3A00%3A00%2B00%3A00&Schedule.actor%3AHealthcareService=2000099999&_include=Slot%3Aschedule" \
 -H "accept: application/fhir+json;version=1.0.0, application/fhir+json; version=1.3.0"\
 -H "authorization: Bearer [redacted]"\
 -H "nhsd-end-user-organisation: eyJyZXNvdXJjZVR5cGUiOiJPcmdhbml6YXRpb24iLCJpZGVudGlmaWVyIjpbeyJ2YWx1ZSI6IkExMDAxIiwic3lzdGVtIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9maGlyLm5ocy51ay9JZC9vZHMtb3JnYW5pemF0aW9uLWNvZGUifV0sIm5hbWUiOiJNeSBzZXJ2aWNlIHByb3ZpZGVyIG5hbWUifQo="\

Here’s the response I am getting:

  },

          }
        ]
      },
      "diagnostics": "Any further internal debug details i.e. stack trace details etc."
    }
  ]
}

What am I missing to manage to get a valid slot response?

Thanks :waving_hand:t2:

Hi @jpmonette

Thank you for your post. It appears that this topic relates to the BaRS service, but seems to have been categorised for e-RS service. With that in mind I have shared this post with the appropriate team to request their attention in reviewing your query.

Thanks,
