Environements
The Critical Information API is offered in three environments: Test, QA, and Prod.
Test and QA are available both on internet and helsenett, while Prod is only available on helsenett and datacenter. Therefore, it is a requirement that your organization has a membership in helsenett in order to consume the API.
Below is an overview of the available environments and their DNS availablity. Make sure to use the correct URL depending on the type of access you require (internet, helsenett, or internal/datacenter).

Test
- The main test environment for cross-environment testing in NHN and for external clients.
- Used for functional testing and integration from EPJ systems against the service.
- We allow all types of NINs in this environment. Production only allows FNR and DNR which exists in persontjenesten/folkeregisteret.
- Some instability should be expected.
- We do not want this environment to be used for performance testing unless agreed upon in advance.

QA
- Production-like environment used for cross-environment testing in NHN and for external clients.
- Used to test integration in a production-like context.
- We allow all types of NINs in this environment. Production only allows FNR and DNR which exists in persontjenesten/folkeregisteret.
Prod
- Production environment.
- Production must never, under any circumstance, be used for testing on test patients or real individuals.
- We only allows NINs of type FNR and DNR which exists in persontjenesten/folkeregisteret.
Note that all new services provided from NHN’s private cloud are published on a different IP segment than certain other NHN services. If your organization already uses services via helsenett, you may need to add new firewall rules for NHN’s private cloud.
