Error Response

Code: 400 Bad Request

{
  "code": "bad_request",
  "message": "Validation failed",
  "errors": [
    {
      "field": "patient_id",
      "message": "must be a string"
    }
  ]
}

Every error has the same shape — a machine-readable code, a message, and an errors[] array that's empty when there's nothing field-specific to report. The HTTP status is authoritative.

Status code Meaning
400 Bad Request bad_request The request body or parameters failed validation. errors[] names the offending fields.
401 Unauthorized unauthorized The access token is missing, malformed or expired.
403 Forbidden forbidden The request references a resource outside the token's organisation or clinic scope.
404 Not Found not_found No such resource, or it's outside your scope.
429 Too Many Requests rate_limited Rate limit exceeded. Back off and retry.
500 Internal Server Error internal_error Unexpected server error.
502 Bad Gateway upstream_error Upstream service failed or timed out.

Notes

  • The EMR user is deactivated at the organisation's next publish; until then a read still reports the live status.
  • This sets access_revoked: true rather than deleting the record — reversible with PATCH {"access_revoked": false}.
  • Only providers created through onboarding (with an onboarding_provider_id) can be written; any other provider returns 400. Pass ?onboarding=true and an onboarding_provider_id to address a provider that is not yet published.
  • When onboarding refuses a write, each errors[] entry carries a code naming the rule that failed, and field names the field in snake_case, as this API spells it.
