Notifications

For notifications, we are using GC Notify. The key can be found in the AWS Parameter Store. The API documentation for GC Notify sits here.

Authentication

The app includes an authentication layer for all endpoints but healthcheck using by using the BCGov API Portal located at https://api.gov.bc.ca Accounts will need to be generated on the portal by a user with API Provider permissions. This will generate a client id and secret for the payments API. This ID and Secret then must be used as the username/password in requests with Basic Auth.

An AuthGuard then makes a request to the API Portal using those credentials to retrieve a token if the account is valid. The AuthGuard is globally applied, except for instances defined by the @Public() decorator.
