Overview

Requirement

Usage

ElationAPI_access

This is a Python class that provides access to the Elation API using OAuth2 authentication.

Usage

To use this class, you will need to create a .env file in the same directory as your Authenticate.py file with the following contents:

CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
USERNAME=your_username
PASSWORD=your_password

Replace your_client_id , your_client_secret , your_username , and your_password with your actual credentials.

Then, in your Authenticate.py file, import the dotenv package and load the environment variables from the .env file:

from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os

load_dotenv()

client_id = os.getenv("CLIENT_ID")
client_secret = os.getenv("CLIENT_SECRET")
username = os.getenv("USERNAME")
password = os.getenv("PASSWORD")

Finally, create an instance of the ElationAPI_access class and use the get_access_token and format_auth methods to authenticate and make API requests:

from ElationAPI_access import ElationAPI_access

api_access = ElationAPI_access()

access_token = api_access.get_access_token()

auth_header = api_access.format_auth()

response = requests.get(
    "https://sandbox.elationemr.com/api/2.0/practices/",
    headers={'Authorization': auth_header}
)

print(response.status_code)
print(json.dumps(json.loads(response.content), indent=2))

Make sure to replace https://sandbox.elationemr.com/api/2.0/practices/ with the actual API endpoint you want to access.
