Frequently asked questions
Eaglesoft scores F on the API Report Card. No public API. A Patterson API ships with the Eaglesoft server, but everything about it is gated behind the Patterson Innovation Connection program: $3,000 to $5,000 enrollment plus monthly fees. Practices cannot get API keys for their own data; only approved vendors can.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Eaglesoft API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Eaglesoft data. See the Eaglesoft integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/eaglesoft-api.
