I'm trying to use the sandbox from https://fhir.epic.com/ for Backend Services.
I am following this tutorial : https://fhir.epic.com/Documentation?docId=oauth2§ion=BackendOAuth2Guide :
But I cannot POST the JWT to the endpoint to obtain the access token. I should send a POST request to this URL: https://fhir.epic.com/interconnect-fhir-oauth/oauth2/token
.
I'm using python and this is my code so far:
import json
import requests
from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone
from requests.structures import CaseInsensitiveDict
from jwt import (
JWT,
jwk_from_dict,
jwk_from_pem,
)
from jwt.utils import get_int_from_datetime
def main():
instance = JWT()
message = {
# Client ID for non-production
'iss': '990573e-13e3-143b-8b03-4fbb577b660',
'sub': '990573e-13e3-143b-8b03-4fbb577b660',
'aud': 'https://fhir.epic.com/interconnect-fhir-oauth/oauth2/token',
'jti': 'f9eaafba-2e49-11ea-8880-5ce0c5aee679',
'iat': get_int_from_datetime(datetime.now(timezone.utc)),
'exp': get_int_from_datetime(datetime.now(timezone.utc) + timedelta(hours=1)),
}
# Load a RSA key from a PEM file.
with open('/home/user/ssl/privatekey.pem', 'rb') as fh:
signing_key = jwk_from_pem(fh.read())
compact_jws = instance.encode(message, signing_key, alg='RS384')
print(compact_jws)
headers = CaseInsensitiveDict()
headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
data = {
'grant_type': 'client_credentials',
'client_assertion_type': 'urn:ietf:params:oauth:client-assertion-type:jwt-bearer',
'client_assertion': compact_jws
}
x = requests.post('https://fhir.epic.com/interconnect-fhir-oauth/oauth2/token', headers=headers, data=data)
print(x.text)
But I always get a 400 error:
{
"error": "invalid_client",
"error_description": null
}
Is the URL correct? How can I get an Access Token to play with the Sandbox?
'exp': get_int_from_datetime(datetime.now(timezone.utc) + timedelta(hours=1)),
At first glance, this appears to be your issue. Epic requires that exp
be no more than 5 minutes in the future.
Couple of pieces of advice, beyond that:
