Web Services

RCRAInfo exposes a set of web services that allow industry and regulators to interact with the system programmatically. These services implement a RESTful design and can be categorized by the resource exposed and the type of user accessing The service. The services are secured using a token-based authentication system.

1. [All users] Authentication services
2. [All users] e-Manifest Lookup Services
3. [All users] Lookup Services
4. [All users] Site Services
5. [All users] User Services
6. [Industry users] e-Manifest Services
7. [Industry users] e-Manifest UI Link Services
8. [Regulator users] CM&E Evaluation Services
9. [Regulator users] e-Manifest Services
10. [Regulator users] Handler Services
11. [Regulator users] User Services

Base URL

Developers can access the services on both the Production and Pre-Production environments using the following base URLs:

Production

• Hostname: https://rcrainfo.epa.gov
• Base Path: /rcrainfoprod/rest
• example: https://rcrainfo.epa.gov/rcrainfoprod/rest/api/v1/lookup/federal-waste-codes

Pre-Production

• Hostname: https://rcrainfopreprod.epa.gov
• Base Path: /rcrainfo/rest
• example: https://rcrainfopreprod.epa.gov/rcrainfo/rest/api/v1/lookup/federal-waste-codes

The RCRAInfo Production services should not be used for testing. Conversely, actions performed in the Pre-Production environment will not be reflected in the Production environment, cannot be used to satisfy regulatory requirements. e-Manifest user fees cannot be paid through the Pre-Production environment.

We use the pre-production environment when referencing services URLs in this documentation.

Tools for Testers

• JSON Schema

• Sample JSON for submitting manifests to EPA, including:

  • A valid example showing a Data+Image manifest

  • A valid example showing an Image Only manifest

  • A valid example demonstrating Quicker Sign which allows users to sign electronic manifests in their own systems

  • An invalid example with several errors

• Swagger page for testing and documenting the services

  • You must be registered as a site manager for a TSDF site to access this site. See "Accessing the Test Environment" below.

• Sample Client for accessing the services

• Python emanifest package for accessing the services

Please note: The test environment for the most part mirrors the handler information in our production environment. When testing, please also make sure your site information is up-to-date. If it is not, please use myRCRAid or your state’s paper notification process to update your site in the production environment.

Accessing the Test Environment
