Is this the practitioner (server) or patient facing API? I’m limited by what I can say by EMIS/TPP confidentiality agreements but roughly my approach to all four API’s was. Get the schema’s and use IDE tools to convert to classes (in my case java). I then tackled the query parts of these API’s, this was mainly to get medical record examples. The examples from the API’s themselves will differ from the documentation. The entities/classes are not well documented and to a certain extent require some healthcare experience to understand. p.s. I facaded all four API’s to the same FHIR based model, we did this because we only wanted our developers to understand one model. ---

@kevin.mayfield1 I’m currently working with Practitioner (Server) APIs for a web-based application. Unfortunately, the technical documentation they provided is poorly structured and difficult to understand. Could you offer any guidance or resources that might help? Thank you for your reply ---

Have you looked at [Emis Web API GetMedicationIssues on PatientAcessEMISWEBV4\_3 - open forum - openhealthhub.org](https://openhealthhub.org/t/emis-web-api-getmedicationissues-on-patientacessemiswebv4-3/2766) I think several EMIS IM1 questions have been answered on that forum.
