API Reference

The ClinikAPI REST API provides CRUD + search operations for 14 FHIR R4 resource types, plus bulk operations and a FHIR passthrough.

Base URL

https://api.clinikapi.com

Authentication

All endpoints (except /health and /v1/metadata) require an API key:

curl -H "x-api-key: clk_live_abc123" https://api.clinikapi.com/v1/patients

Response Envelope

Every response is wrapped in:

{
  "data": { ... },
  "meta": {
    "requestId": "req_k8f3a7x2",
    "timestamp": "2025-01-15T09:15:00.000Z",
    "status": 200,
    "rateLimitTotal": 500,
    "rateLimitRemaining": 498,
    "rateLimitReset": 3600
  }
}

Pagination

List endpoints return paginated results:

{
  "data": {
    "data": [ ... ],
    "total": 150,
    "cursor": "20",
    "hasMore": true
  }
}

Use count (default: 20, max: 100) and cursor query parameters to paginate.
