BestRx API
BestRx is a nearly 40-year-old pharmacy management system for independent community pharmacies, now part of RedSail Technologies, spanning dispensing, point-of-sale (BestPOS), refills, and delivery. It publishes API documentation—Patient, Drug, Prescription, Refill, BestPOS, and Delivery APIs—but keeps access behind a contact-us gate with no self-serve keys or sandbox. An unofficial API from Supergood gets you the same data without a partner arrangement.
What is BestRx?
BestRx is a family-built pharmacy management system that has served independent community pharmacies for nearly 40 years, and is now part of RedSail Technologies. The core BestRx system handles dispensing workflow with prescription synchronization, automatic patient information population, and drug profitability tracking, while BestPOS connects prescription and front-end operations in an integrated point-of-sale. The platform processed 19+ million e-scripts in 2022, won Surescripts' Highest Accuracy award in 2022 and 2023, and integrates with 125+ vendor partners including Amplicare, CoverMyMeds, ScriptPro, and DrFirst.
Common data entities:
- Patient profiles and demographics
- Prescriptions, refills, and dispensing records
- Drug records and profitability data
- BestPOS point-of-sale transactions
- Delivery orders and status
The BestRx Integration Challenge
- BestRx publishes API documentation—Patient, Drug, Prescription, Refill, BestPOS, and Delivery APIs plus a Realtime Datafeed callback spec—but there's no self-serve signup, no keys, and no sandbox
- The docs direct developers to contact BestRx to learn more—access is a sales conversation, not a signup form
- No published SDKs, and the Realtime Datafeed requires a vendor arrangement to enable
- Pharmacies can't switch on API access themselves—enablement runs through BestRx/RedSail per vendor
- No unified-API provider covers BestRx, so each vendor waits on the same partner pipeline
How Supergood Creates BestRx APIs
Supergood creates and maintains an unofficial, managed API for BestRx. Instead of contacting BestRx sales and waiting on a partner arrangement to unlock the documented APIs, you use pharmacy-authorized credentials and Supergood handles authentication, session management, data extraction, and normalization into clean JSON.
- Managed authentication with username/password and MFA, including automatic session refresh
- Normalized JSON for patients, prescriptions, refills, POS transactions, and deliveries
- Continuous monitoring that detects BestRx and BestPOS changes and adapts the integration automatically

Frequently asked questions
BestRx does publish API documentation—Patient, Drug, Prescription, Refill, BestPOS, and Delivery APIs plus a Realtime Datafeed spec—but there's no self-serve signup, keys, or sandbox; access requires contacting BestRx and setting up a vendor arrangement. Supergood provides a managed, unofficial API you can use without that gate.
Patients, prescriptions and refills, dispensing records, drug and profitability data, BestPOS transactions, and delivery orders—normalized into consistent JSON.
Yes. Supergood operates with pharmacy-authorized credentials, encrypts data in transit and at rest, supports BAAs, and follows SOC 2-aligned controls for handling PHI.
Supergood monitors the integration 24/7, detects UI and workflow changes—including updates under RedSail Technologies' ownership—and adapts automatically, typically with no action required on your side.
Yes. Where a pharmacy or vendor arrangement already grants access to BestRx Connect APIs or the Realtime Datafeed, Supergood can incorporate those official interfaces alongside its managed integration for the best coverage.
