Developer Portal Integration

The Developer Portal provides a central place for Consumer App Developers to register their apps and discover API connections for SAFHIR Payer clients.

Swagger Management APIs

The Swagger documentation for three management APIs are provided:

  1. Marketplace API - implemented via SAFHIR Developer Portal
  2. Application Dashboard API
  3. Revocation API

1. Marketplace API

This API provides a Json bundle that can be queried by the payer to publish a list of applications that they have approved for connection to their production APIs.

2. Application Dashboard API

This secure API can be queried by the payer to publish a list of applications to a member page on their member portal. The purpose of this list is to identify the applications that a member has connected to their data.

3. Revocation API

This secure API works in conjunction with the Application Dashboard API. This would be used by a member to revoke access tokens for an application that they had previously connected to their data.
