Getting Started

This API uses OAuth for authentication, which is more involved than a simple API key but provides better security, especially when accessing user data.

Register your app — Create an application on the API provider's developer portal to get a Client ID and Client Secret.
Implement the OAuth flow — Redirect users to the provider's authorization page, where they grant permission to your app.
Exchange the code — After authorization, you'll receive a code that you exchange for an access token.
Use the token — Include the access token in the Authorization header of your API requests.

OAuth is commonly used by APIs that access personal data (like social media accounts). Many libraries exist to simplify the OAuth flow in every major programming language.

CORS Support

CORS support for this API is unknown. If you get cross-origin errors in the browser, try calling the API from your server instead.

Quick Example

// Using cURL
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" https://developer.orionhealth.io/

// Using JavaScript fetch()
const response = await fetch(apiUrl, {
  headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' }
});
const data = await response.json();

Frequently Asked Questions

What health data does Orion Health provide?

Orion Health is a health API that may offer medical information, fitness data, disease databases, drug information, or health tracking capabilities. The specific data depends on the API's focus and regulatory compliance. Always verify health data against official medical sources.

Is the medical data from Orion Health reliable?

Health APIs source their data from various providers including government health databases, medical literature, and curated datasets. While Orion Health can be useful for building health-related applications, its data should not replace professional medical advice. Always include appropriate disclaimers in your applications.

Does Orion Health comply with health data privacy regulations?

Health data privacy (HIPAA, GDPR) is important when building health applications. Orion Health as a public API provides general health information rather than personal health records. However, if you collect user health data in your app, ensure your own application complies with relevant regulations. See more in our Health APIs.

Is Orion Health free to use?

Yes, Orion Health is listed as a free public API. You will need to register an application to get OAuth credentials, but access is free. Some APIs have rate limits on their free tier, so check the official documentation for current limits.
