Quickstart · 60 seconds

One request to look up a provider.

Pass an NPI in the identifier parameter. The response is a valid FHIR R4 Practitioner bundle with row-level provenance on meta.tag.

curl https://fonteum.com/api/fhir/r4/Practitioner?identifier=1234567890 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FONTEUM_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: application/fhir+json"

Capability statement

US Core 6.1.0. Five resources. One endpoint.

The CapabilityStatement at /api/fhir/r4/metadata declares all supported interactions, search parameters, and conformance profiles. Every resource is tagged with a 14-tuple provenance block on meta.tag.

Practitioner

/api/fhir/r4/Practitioner

Individual clinician identity from the CMS federal practitioner registry — NPI, taxonomy, address, qualifications.

Organization

/api/fhir/r4/Organization

Practice groups and facility entities keyed by NPI-2 and CMS CCN.

Location

/api/fhir/r4/Location

Physical practice addresses linked to Practitioner and Organization resources.

PractitionerRole

/api/fhir/r4/PractitionerRole

Role binding — connects a Practitioner to an Organization at a Location.

HealthcareService

/api/fhir/r4/HealthcareService

Services offered by a facility or practitioner, with specialty coding.

Auth flow

SMART on FHIR backend services. No redirect required.

Server-to-server apps use the SMART Backend Services profile. No user login, no OAuth redirect flow. Generate a JWT signed with your RS384 private key and post it to the token endpoint.

# 1. Build the client assertion JWT (RS384)
{
  "iss": "<client_id>",
  "sub": "<client_id>",
  "aud": "https://fonteum.com/api/fhir/r4/token",
  "exp": <unix_timestamp + 300>,
  "jti": "<unique_id>"
}

# 2. Exchange for an access token
curl -X POST https://fonteum.com/api/fhir/r4/token \
  -d "grant_type=client_credentials" \
  -d "client_assertion_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:client-assertion-type:jwt-bearer" \
  -d "client_assertion=<signed_jwt>" \
  -d "scope=system/Practitioner.read"

Webhook subscriptions

Get notified when a provider record changes.

FHIR R4 Subscription resources let you register a channel and receive a ping whenever a Practitioner or Organization resource changes. The notification payload carries the updated resource and the provenance delta. Available to pilot customers — ask at press@fonteum.com.

Built on the authoritative federal record

The primary sources, named on every page.

These are the federal agencies whose public datasets Fonteum ingests and attributes — the issuing authorities, not customers or partners. Every figure on the site links back to one of them.

  • CMS
  • HHS-OIG
  • HRSA
  • FDA
  • NLM
  • NUCC
  • Census
  • BLS
  • BEA

Reproducible by design

Every figure traces to its federal source.

14-tuple provenance

Every rendered fact ties to a source URL, dataset ID, snapshot date, row key, and SHA-256 — the full chain-of-custody record.

Reproducible SQL

Each study ships the exact query behind its figures, run against the cited federal snapshot. Re-run it yourself.

Daily reconciliation

Published counts are reconciled against the upstream federal datasets on a daily cadence, with drift logged.
