Get started as an API developer
Go through this section to learn more about what you to do before you start working with Oracle Clinical One Platform REST APIs.You can make many types of HTTP requests using Oracle Clinical One Platform REST APIs to view, create, update, or delete data.
We recommend that you first use your user account (regardless of client ID type) to sign in and carry out the same tasks on the user interface that are intended to be performed later by the APIs. This way, you can ensure that the required roles and permissions have been granted to your account before attempting to use the APIs.
Prerequisites
- Go over the basics: If you're new to REST APIs, make sure you understand the basic concepts around REST and JSON. If you're new to Oracle Clinical One Platform or Oracle Clinical One Integration Hub, check our Oracle Help Center page to learn more about these two products.
- Choose a client: REST APIs connect software programs over the HTTP protocol. You need a software client to send these HTTP requests. As an example, in our REST API Guide, we use cURL. But cURL isn't the only tool that you can use. You can also check resources online to see what are some other tools for running API requests.
- Obtain account information: If you decided what REST client to use, then it's time to gather a few bits of information before you can make REST HTTP requests.
Next steps
After you're all set with the prerequisites, here is what you need to do to get started with
calling APIs:
- Install and configure cURL. Or choose a different REST client to perform this task.
- Obtain account information
- Get a token for authentication
- Use the token to make an API request
