Use this endpoint to fetch a single FHIR R4 resource by its type and ID. The response is the raw FHIR resource structure — not the simplified envelope format used by other ClinikAPI endpoints. Tenant ownership is verified before the resource is returned; requests for resources belonging to a different tenant receive 404 Not Found.

​
Request

GET https://api.clinikapi.com/v1/fhir/:resourceType/:id

​
Headers

​
x-api-key
string
required
Your ClinikAPI secret key (clk_live_* or clk_test_*).

​
Path parameters

​
resourceType
string
required
The FHIR resource type (e.g. Patient, Observation, Encounter, Condition).
​
id
string
required
The FHIR resource ID (e.g. pt_abc123).

​
Response

Returns 200 OK with the raw FHIR R4 resource. The exact fields depend on the resource type.
​
resourceType
string
FHIR resource type (e.g. "Patient").
​
id
string
Resource ID.
​
meta
object
FHIR resource metadata including versionId, lastUpdated, and tag (contains your tenant identifier).

​
Examples
