Kareo API
Kareo, now Tebra, exposes a legacy SOAP API with some REST/Swagger surfaces, documented in the Tebra help center. Access uses customer login credentials plus an API key; there is no self-serve developer portal, no modern SDKs, and API terms disclaim any uptime warranty.

The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.

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, via a managed API layer. Supergood builds REST APIs and MCP servers for authenticated enterprise web apps, so AI agents and internal tools can read and write data programmatically.
