Endpoint Structure - Existing approach

Current Endpoint Configuration in the DoS

The DoS currently has several different types of endpoints to support existing onward distribution of information for varios different types of interction scenarios. There s a UI to allow DoS administration users to create and manage these endpoints:

The endpoint data is currently shared with systems that are looking up the DoS through the look up API. This information gets returned as part of the response to a “GetServiceDetailsByID” API call. It is returned in the form of a long string with the endpoint data delimited into key/value pairs.

The DoS is being updated to change this response structure and incorporate a new set of endpoint data to support appointment booking.

There are five key data items that define an endpoint:
