Frequently asked questions
Netsmart scores F on the API Report Card. No public developer portal. Netsmart supports FHIR exchange and is a designated QHIN, but the surface is standards-based clinical interoperability, not self-issued keys and SDKs. Integration runs through credentialed interfaces scoped with Netsmart.
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 Netsmart API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Netsmart data. See the Netsmart integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/netsmart-api-2.
