You can learn how to query Via Oberta by following the steps in the self-study tutorial available on the AOC Campus.

In this FAQ we will delve into the most important aspects when making a data query through Via Oberta.

The modalities that you are authorized will appear with a star, which you can select to mark the query as a favorite, instead, you will see a forbidden symbol if you are not authorized to access the query:

The prohibited symbol appears when the entity is not authorized by the AOC Consortium to consume the service or the Interoperability Manager of the entity has not assigned the necessary permissions to the user who must access the service.

Therefore, if a user cannot access a Via Oberta service, despite being authorized by the Interoperability Manager of his entity, the following points must be reviewed:

  • The application documentation has been sent to request authorization of the service to the AOC Consortium in order for it to manage the authorization to be able to carry out the consultations of this service at Via Oberta
  • Confirmation of subscription to the requested service has been received

When the service is requested from the AOC Consortium, by sending the corresponding form, the documents sent will be reviewed by the responsible areas and if everything is correct, the body will be authorized to access the requested services in a maximum time of 15 working days once the sent documentation has been validated.

Once you have received the confirmation of registration for the requested service, the enabled star icon will appear and you will be able to access that data.

In the event that we need additional information and an amendment request must be made, the body will be notified via the contact email provided in the application.

To make inquiries:

In the Service Letters you have the explanation of the service and its modalities, with a description of the data to be reported and the result of the query.

To carry out the consultation to which you are authorized, you must access the section of Via Oberta that you will find in EACAT.

Some of Via Oberta's services have certain query modes that can be carried out in batches. Manual batch querying consists of uploading a user-made file and asynchronously or deferred fetching another response file. In other words, the answers will have to be found in the EACAT a few hours after the request has been made. In the service letters you will also find how these queries are made and what answers you will get.

To carry out a batch query you need to access the Via Oberta drop-down menu.
