Echo EHR API
The only documented programmatic surface is the ONC-mandated FHIR (g)(10) export, plus interface engines like EMR Direct and phiMail. Everything else is a per-project interface engagement; even data exports go through support tickets. There is no portal, no SDKs, and no keys without a contract.
Frequently asked questions
Echo EHR scores F on the API Report Card. The only documented programmatic surface is the ONC-mandated FHIR (g)(10) export, plus interface engines like EMR Direct and phiMail. Everything else is a per-project interface engagement; even data exports go through support tickets. There is no portal, no SDKs, and no keys without a contract.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.

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 Echo EHR API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Echo EHR data. See the Echo EHR integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/echo-ehr-api.
