PKB maintains four different types of FHIR API endpoint. Each endpoint is associated with a corresponding pot of data.
This page provides a brief overview of each endpoint type; please see the linked subpages for more information.
Aggregated read-only FHIR endpoint
This is a read-only, R4 FHIR API which aggregates data from all input routes, both FHIR and non-FHIR. The aggregation will perform STU3->R4 mappings as required. Complex access control applies since this contains data from multiple sources.

Customer read-write FHIR endpoints
Each customer is allocated 1 dedicated instance for each of their inbound FHIR feeds to PKB. Full read/write support for all REST interactions, for all resource types, available in customer's choice of STU3 or R4. Read/write access to each endpoint is restricted to the customer who owns it.

Hybrid mail, questionnaires and timeline Facade FHIR endpoint (deprecating)
PKB maintains a Facade FHIR endpoint which provides read-only* access to FHIR representations of non-FHIR data in PKB medical records. This endpoint provides access to all data provided to PKB, whether via UI or integration, but excludes data provided directly to a Customer FHIR endpoint. Only a subset of resource types and elements are supported. Over time, external API access to this endpoint will be removed. Complex access control applies since this contains data from multiple sources.
