PMS API read-only mode now available for selected Network users

The PMS Application Programming Interface (API), launched on 3 July 2024 in read-only mode for industry users only, is now available for National Competent Authorities (NCAs) managing both human and veterinary medicinal products. Users from these NCAs are now able to view their non-Centrally Authorised Products (non-CAPs) (as well as CAPs) ISO-IDMP compliant human product data in the API.

Using the API

Please note that selected users mentioned above can request access to PMS API via EMA Service Desk ticket here: Request SPOR API Services - Employee Center (europa.eu). The specific PMS role required for accessing the PMS API cannot be requested yet through EMA account management portal until access is available for all NCAs.

Upcoming training session: EMA is organising a dedicated training session on 2 October 2024 (10:00 – 11:30 CEST) to provide an overview of the API, and showcase the access and data read through the API. Register here (on EU-NTC platform).

Q&A Clinics: In October 2024, the PMS team will be available to answer your questions on API & Product User Interface (PUI) use during 30 mins session taking place on Tuesdays from 10:00 to 15:30 CEST:

The EU IDMP Implementation Guide (IG) Chapter 1 includes updated registration requirements reflecting changes in the PMS registration process.

As a reminder, the release of the NCA role for the NCAs managing human products only in EMA Account Management (IAM) for the PMS API is postponed until later in 2024/ beginning of 2025 because the testing of the new API version revealed that future registered NCAs would have access to both human and veterinary products through the API, due to the shared technology of PMS and the Union Product Database. This is not in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 56 of Regulation (EU) 2019/6. As per the regulation, only EMA, the European Commission and selected Competent Authorities, as designated by Member States to carry out the tasks under Regulation (EU) 2019/6 in accordance with Article 137 of that Regulation, should be able to access medicinal product data for veterinary use.
