• Bundle creation, validation and data management on a FHIR server via the REST API
• Supports Hapi, Blaze and IBM FHIR servers

Installation

Install the package using pip:

pip install fhir-kindling --user

Usage

Connecting to a FHIR server

from fhir_kindling import FhirServer

# Connect with basic auth 
basic_auth_server = FhirServer("https://fhir.server/fhir", username="admin", password="admin")
# Connect with static token
token_server = FhirServer("https://fhir.server/fhir", token="your_token")

# Connect using oauth2/oidc
oidc_server = FhirServer("https://fhir.server/fhir", client_id="client_id", client_secret="secret", 
                         oidc_provider_url="url")

# Print the server's capability statement
print(basic_auth_server.capabilities)

Query resources from the server

from fhir_kindling import FhirServer
from fhir.resources.patient import Patient


# Connect using oauth2/oidc
oidc_server = FhirServer("https://fhir.server/fhir", client_id="client_id", client_secret="secret",
                         oidc_provider_url="url")

# query all patients on the server
query = oidc_server.query(Patient, output_format="json").all()
print(query.response)

# Query resources based on name of resource
query = oidc_server.query("Patient", output_format="json").all()
print(query.response)

CLI

With the virtual environment activated you can use the CLI directly in the terminal

CLI - Uploading a bundle to a server

fhir_kindling upload <path-to-bundle.json> --url <base-url-fhir-api> -u <username> -p <password> --token <token>

CLI - Querying a server

For an overview of the options of the CLI query command

fhir_kindling query --help

Examples

To query all instances of a resource use the -r option. This command queries all Patients from the server and stores the results as csv into the query_results.json file.

fhir_kindling query -r Patient --url <base-url-fhir-api> -u <username> -p <password> --token <token> -f "query_results.csv" -o csv

This example uses the -q option to execute a predefined url query string against the server and also stores the output as csv in a file called query_results.csv

fhir_kindling query -q "/MolecularSequence?patient.organization.name=DEMO_HIV&_format=json" --url <base-url-fhir-api> -u <username> -p <password> --token <token> -f "query_results.csv" -o csv
