escribeHOST API Documentation

Authentication

Authentication is required to use the API.
To authenticate, send HTTP POST to https://ehr.escribe.com/ehr/api/users/login with data 'username' and 'password'.
After logging in, you will receive a cookie, JSESSIONID, that must be used to make further authenticated API calls.

Example

This example demonstrates logging in and looking up a patient's identifier using their name.
The user's username is YOURUSERNAME and password is YOURPASSWORD. The patient's name is John Doe.
The example uses curl.

Step 1: Login (store JSESSIONID in a file named 'cookiejar')

curl -c cookiejar 'https://ehr.escribe.com/ehr/api/users/login' -d 'username=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD'

Step 2: Get patient ID (using JSESSIONID stored in a file named 'cookiejar')

curl -b cookiejar 'https://ehr.escribe.com/ehr/api/patientinfo/patient/id?firstName=john&lastName=doe'

The patient identifier is returned in the HTTP response:

12345678
