Hey all,

I am testing out updating the ORUK validator to be compatible with HSDS V3.0.  
Are there any openly available APIs using the standard that could be used for testing?

Thanks,  
Dave

Thanks @IlesdTPX. @skyleryoung may have one or @bloom may know of one. As I understand it, you’re looking to do a test with the full standard rather than the UK profile for which the Validator was initially developed.

Based on updates from last months standing technical meeting @skyleryoung and a Michigan organisation will be testing.
