Quickstart

Get up and running with ClinikAPI in three steps.

1. Get Your API Key

Sign up at dashboard.clinikapi.com and create an organization. You’ll get two keys:
  • clk_test_* — routes to the shared test datastore (safe to experiment with)
  • clk_live_* — routes to production (available on paid plans)

2. Install the SDK

The SDK is server-side only. Never import it in client-side code — your API key would be exposed. For frontend UI, use @clinikapi/react with the proxy pattern.

3. Create a Patient

Response Format

Every SDK method returns ApiResponse<T>:

Using Test vs Live Keys

Test keys are available on all plans including Sandbox. Use them for development and testing — data is isolated from production.
