Getting started
Step1: Create an account
Create an account to access the API library and begin configuring APIs. This account will grant you access to the Blue Shield of California Sandbox environment.
Step2: Register an application
In Apps tab, click “Create new app” to register a new sample application by providing Title and Application OAuth Redirect URL.
Redirect_URI: When creating an application in the sandbox a redirect URI is required. This is the API endpoint on your system that receives the callback from the BSCA API after a beneficiary is passed to the Patient Access API to authorize your application. A Redirect_URI follows this format: URLprotocol://[subdomain.]domain_name[:port]/path
A registered application is given a client ID and a client secret. The secret should only be used if it can be kept confidential, such as communication between your server and Blue Shield.
