Get ETK Public Key (api-acpt.ehealth.fgov.be)

See more Belgian eHealth Platform Examples

The following URL returns JSON, which contains a PKCS7 signed data:

https://api-acpt.ehealth.fgov.be/etee/v1/etks?identifier=12345678901&type=SSIN

This example extracts the signed data, validates it, and then extracts the public key from the certificate (obtained from signed content in the PKCS7)

Note: The URL above uses "12345678901" which is not valid. You should replace it with a valid number.
