FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.

Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Core Concepts

Resources

The SDK organizes API endpoints into resource classes:

Verbose Mode

Some endpoints support verbose mode to include additional related data that requires extra database queries:

Verbose mode includes:

Patients: Full insurance objects (primary/secondary/tertiary), custom demographics, patient flags, referring doctor
Appointments: Clinical notes, vitals, custom vitals, status transitions, reminders
Clinical Notes: Complete section content with all fields

Performance considerations:

Page size reduced from 250 to 50 records
Response time 2-5x slower per request
Additional database queries per record
Use only when you need the extra fields

📖 See Verbose Mode Guide for comprehensive documentation and examples.

Pagination

All list endpoints return paginated results:

Models

Use type-safe models for better IDE support:

Error Handling

The SDK provides granular exception classes:

Usage Examples
