Can we get some help on this?

Hi. I have been advised that if If you are trying to connect to the API you need to be using this URL - https://api.company-information.service.gov.uk. If you could also provide me with screenshots on what you are doing and the error you are getting, the IT team would be able to investigate further. Thanks KAJ
HI. Thank you for your response.
The issue is with the authorization. We have been using the same URLs for authorization since 2021. Now, we are seeing the below error. “https://identity.company-information.service.gov.uk/oauth2/authorise”
“https://identity.company-information.service.gov.uk/oauth2/token”
Hi,
We started using this service a few weeks ago. Perhaps the process changed? This is our process and it’s all working:
Step1: Register + set up LIVE APPLICATION + get API Key
Step2: api.company-information.service.gov.uk (add search etc. to retrieve company information)
Also visit: Companies House API Overview
Good luck.
