eMedNY API Best Practices

eMedNY APIs are available for provider’s, billing agencies , Software Vendors , SaaS providers and other stake holders who want to electronically interact with eMedNY . To use eMedNY APIs you need to be registered with eMedNY through the provider enrollment process. If you are not enrolled or need to renew your enrollment visit
https://www.emedny.org/info/ProviderEnrollment/index.aspx .

eMedNY APIs are secured by https and protected by any one of the following mechanism
    1. API Key (Currently in production )
    2. Client Certificate ( Future)
    3. OAuth 2.0 (Future)
Authentication approach could vary by service depending on the type of API. Also note that Authentication in Production ( https://api.emedny.io) is different from Test ( https://api.emednytest.io) i.e. your API key from Test cannot be used in production.

eMedNY APIs Sandbox

eMedNY API platform providers the developers with a sandbox . We recommend that you do this only on our test portal ( https://developer.emednytest.io). Any transaction you send to our production using the production URL and the production keys are considered production.

Payload Size

We recommend that you use these APIs in a real time fashion and integrate it within your existing workflow. Use APIs with single request instead of batch whenever possible. This will ensure that you get the fastest response and are not prone to network timeouts.
We allow up to five concurrent API calls for a given user. API Consumers can call APIs concurrently to complete the workload.
It is important to understand that there is a payload limitations specific to API. To understand the API specific limits, please refer to the ICD (Interface Control Document) or Developer guide specific to that API.

Asynchronous processing & Web hooks

At this point, we do not support Asynchronous processing and Webhook callbacks. We plan to have these capabilities in the future to support enhanced batch processing.
