Getting Started with the HealthCorum API

Using HealthCorum API, developers can access HealthCorum's vast collection of healthcare data.

Overview

The HealthCorum API is organized around REST. Our API has predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts form-encoded request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs. Our partners use the API by sending requests with a specific structure to our servers.

Our API infrastructure is completely supported by our company security and privacy policies, which are compliant with SOC2 and HIPAA standards.

Authentication

The HealthCorum API uses API keys to authenticate requests and authentication to the API is performed via HTTP Basic Auth. The partners send HTTPS requests with the Authorization header that contains the word “Basic” followed by a space and a base64-encoded string username:password. 401 “Unauthorized” response is returned for requests with missing or incorrect credentials. This response includes the WWW-Authenticate header.
