IDEXX Neo API
IDEXX Neo is a cloud-based veterinary practice information management system that streamlines scheduling, one-click consultations, invoicing, medical records, diagnostic ordering, integrated payments, and client communications for clinics and hospitals. An unofficial API lets you programmatically pull patients, appointments, medical records, invoices, payments, and diagnostic results—and push updates like new appointments, consultation notes, and invoices back into Neo.
What is IDEXX Neo?
IDEXX Neo is a cloud-based veterinary practice information management system (PIMS) that helps clinics and hospitals complete everyday tasks faster. Veterinary teams use Neo to manage appointment scheduling, one-click consultations, medical records and exam notes, estimates and invoicing, integrated payments with digital signature capture, diagnostic ordering, inventory, client communications, and one-click reporting—accessible securely from any internet-connected device.
Core product areas include:
- Scheduling and patient management (appointment booking, one-click consultations, patient history, preformatted exam notes)
- Financial operations (estimates, invoice management, overdue tracking, payment collection with digital signatures)
- Diagnostics integration via VetConnect PLUS (two-way ordering and results from IDEXX Reference Laboratories and in-house analyzers)
- Client communications and engagement (built-in messaging plus Vello and partner engagement tools)
- Practice intelligence (dashboard with overdue invoices, reminders, draft invoices, and one-click reporting)
- Inventory management and a partner ecosystem of 20+ integrations across diagnostics, payments, and workflow
Common data entities:
- Clients (pet owners), Patients (animals), Breeds, Species
- Appointments, Consultations, Exam Notes, Reminders
- Medical Records, Diagnoses, Estimates, Treatments
- Invoices, Payments, Refunds, Account Balances
- Diagnostic Orders and Results (VetConnect PLUS), Lab Requisitions
- Inventory Items, Products, Services, Price Lists
The IDEXX Neo Integration Challenge
Veterinary teams run daily operations on Neo, but turning its cloud, portal-driven workflows into API-driven automation is non-trivial:
- Partner-gated access: Neo emphasizes a curated partnership model—third-party data access is provisioned through API keys generated in the practice account, not an open, self-serve developer API
- Batch-style data pulls: Some integrations (e.g., nightly practice-data syncs) operate on scheduled batch extracts rather than real-time event streams
- Limited public documentation: Authentication, rate limits, and data schemas are not published openly, so coverage must be mapped per practice and per workflow
- Cloud session model: Cloud-only access from any device means automation has to handle authenticated browser sessions and credential rotation cleanly
- Diagnostics coupling: Lab orders and results flow through VetConnect PLUS, adding a second authenticated surface to reconcile with the patient record
- Billing precision: Invoices, payments, refunds, and charge capture require careful idempotency and reconciliation to avoid duplicate or orphaned transactions
How Supergood Creates IDEXX Neo APIs
Supergood reverse-engineers authenticated Neo sessions, the practice API-key access path, and VetConnect PLUS diagnostic flows to deliver a resilient API layer for your practice—without waiting on a partnership gate or public developer program.
- Handles username/password and MFA securely, plus practice-generated API keys where available
- Maintains session continuity with automated refresh and change detection across the cloud app
- Normalizes responses across patients, appointments, medical records, invoices, payments, and diagnostic results so you integrate once and rely on consistent objects
- Reconciles diagnostic orders and results from VetConnect PLUS back into the patient record for unified charge capture

Scheduling
/appointmentsRetrieve appointments and consultations across providers with date-range, status, and resource filters.
Scheduling
/create_appointmentBook a new appointment for a patient with provider, reason, and time slot, and attach client details.
Medical Records
/medical_recordsPull medical records, exam notes, diagnoses, and treatment history for a patient.
Billing
/invoicesList invoices, payments, and account balances with status filters for overdue, draft, and paid.
Billing
/create_invoiceCreate an invoice or estimate for a patient with line items for services, products, and diagnostics.
Diagnostics

Frequently asked questions
Neo emphasizes a curated partnership model rather than an open developer API. Practices can generate an API key to authorize specific third-party services to pull data, but there is no broad self-serve public API. Supergood works against your authenticated Neo session and the API-key access path to give you programmatic access without waiting on a partnership gate.
Yes. Supergood normalizes patients, appointments, medical records, exam notes, invoices, payments, and account balances through a single API surface, so clinical and financial entities are available together.
Yes. Diagnostic orders and results that flow through VetConnect PLUS from IDEXX Reference Laboratories and in-house analyzers are reconciled back into the patient record and exposed through the same normalized API.
Where Neo exposes scheduled batch extracts, Supergood aligns to them; where authenticated session access is available, we provide near real-time pulls. You get a consistent API regardless of the underlying access pattern.
Yes. Workers scale horizontally and are profiled per practice configuration and entitlements, so multi-location groups can integrate patients, scheduling, and billing across sites through one API.
