title: Temporary access views | Avara
description: Mint a short-lived URL so a user already signed into your app can open Viewer without logging into the Avara dashboard.
---

Optional. For PACS companies, EHR/RIS companies, or any platform that wants Viewer inside its own UI instead of sending users to the Avara dashboard.

Your app still owns login. Avara only issues a one-time link after your backend authorizes the request.

## How it works

1. **The user asks in your app** — They are already authenticated with you and request access to a study.
2. **Your backend mints the URL** — Using your API key, call the SDK with the study’s Avara `studyId`.
3. **Redirect to a new window** — Serve that URL to the client and open it. The user lands in Viewer without signing in to the Avara dashboard.

You need an API key (`AVARA_API_KEY`) from [API Config](/integration/viewer/api-config/index.md). Viewer reroute takes `studyId` only — there is no `assignedToUserId` and no separate viewer-only variant. This product is the viewer.

If you also have reporting, use the [AutoScribe temporary access views](/integration/autoscribe/temporary-access-views/index.md) instead — that is where dictation and viewer-only AutoScribe URLs live.

## TypeScript

```
import Avara from "avara";


const client = new Avara({
  apiKey: process.env.AVARA_API_KEY,
});


const response = await client.viewer.studies.rerouteURL({
  studyId: "stu_1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef",
});
```

## Python

```
import os
from avara import Avara


client = Avara(
    api_key=os.environ.get("AVARA_API_KEY"),
)
response = client.viewer.studies.reroute_url(
    study_id="stu_1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef",
)
```

## Java

```
package com.avara.example;


import com.avara.client.AvaraClient;
import com.avara.client.okhttp.AvaraOkHttpClient;
import com.avara.models.viewer.studies.StudyRerouteUrlParams;
import com.avara.models.viewer.studies.StudyRerouteUrlResponse;


public final class Main {
    private Main() {}


    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AvaraClient client = AvaraOkHttpClient.fromEnv();


        StudyRerouteUrlParams params = StudyRerouteUrlParams.builder()
            .studyId("stu_1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef")
            .build();
        StudyRerouteUrlResponse response = client.viewer().studies().rerouteUrl(params);
    }
}
```

## C\#

```
using Avara;
using Avara.Models.Viewer.Studies;


var client = new AvaraClient();


var response = await client.Viewer.Studies.RerouteUrl(new StudyRerouteUrlParams
{
    StudyId = "stu_1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef",
});
```
