Enable this API service in OpenEMR menu: Administration->Globals->Connectors->"Enable OpenEMR REST API"
There are several ways to make API calls from an authorized session and maintain security:
- See the script at tests/api/InternalApiTest.php for examples of internal API use cases.
OpenEMR standard endpoints Use http:https://localhost:8300/apis/ as base URI.
Example: http:https://localhost:8300/apis/api/patient
returns a resource of all Patients.
The OpenEMR API utilizes the OAuth2 password credential flow for authentication. To obtain an API token, submit your login credentials and requested scope. The scope must match a site that has been setup in OpenEMR, in the /sites/ directory. If additional sites have not been created, set the scope to 'default'.
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'http:https://localhost:8300/apis/api/auth' \
-d '{
"grant_type":"password",
"username": "ServiceUser",
"password": "password",
"scope":"site id"
}'

The Bearer token is required for each OpenEMR API request, and is conveyed using an Authorization header.
