Set Up Your Environment

Before you can start working with the Health Gorilla API, you need to configure your environment and tools. This ensures you are ready to authenticate, send requests, and validate responses using either the Sandbox or Production environment.

To set up your environment

  1. If you plan to test APIs using a visual application, download and install Postman from postman.com. If you prefer using a terminal, confirm that curl is available in your shell.
  2. Open your preferred code editor (for example, VS Code or IntelliJ) to prepare for running example commands, modifying variables, or integrating SDKs.
  3. Set your FHIR base URL depending on your target environment:
  • Sandbox: https://sandbox.healthgorilla.com/fhir/R4/
  • Production: https://api.healthgorilla.com/fhir/R4/
  1. Start in the Sandbox environment to simulate and verify requests before making calls against live production data.
