1. Enable API in OpenEMR

Log in to OpenEMR as an administrator.
Go to Administration > Globals > Connectors.
Enable REST API.
Save the settings and restart OpenEMR if needed.

2. Generate API Credentials (Client ID & Secret)

Navigate to Administration > System > API Clients.
Click on “Add API Client”.
Provide the client name and authorized redirect URI (if needed).
Generate the Client ID and Client Secret.

3. Obtain an Access Token (Login API)

You need to send a POST request to OpenEMR’s token endpoint to get an OAuth 2.0 token.

Endpoint:
POST {your_openemr_url}/oauth2/default/token
Headers:
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Body (Form Data):
{
“grant_type”: “password”,
“client_id”: “your_client_id”,
“client_secret”: “your_client_secret”,
“username”: “your_username”,
“password”: “your_password”,
“scope”: “openid”
}

4. Use the Access Token to Call Patient API

Once you have the access token, use it to authenticate requests to OpenEMR endpoints.

Example: Get Patient List
GET {your_openemr_url}/api/patient
Headers:

json

CopyEdit

{
  "Authorization": "Bearer your_access_token",
  "Accept": "application/json"
}

Response (Example):

json

CopyEdit

[
  {
    "id": "1",
    "first_name": "John",
    "last_name": "Doe",
    "dob": "1990-01-01",
    "gender": "M"
  }
]

5. Refresh Token (Optional)

If your access token expires, use the refresh token to get a new one.

Endpoint:

bash

CopyEdit

POST {your_openemr_url}/oauth2/default/token

Body (Form Data):

json

CopyEdit

{
  "grant_type": "refresh_token",
  "refresh_token": "your_refresh_token",
  "client_id": "your_client_id",
  "client_secret": "your_client_secret"
}
