titleATHENAcustom - makes API requests and returns the response

ATHENAcustom takes in any API requests and parameters to make the API call and return the response.

  • First the function checks if the token key exists or if the key_expiry time has passed and performs the OAuth2.0 authentication workflow to obtain the token to be used in subsequent requests.

  • Uses the passed configurations API request parameters - the method (ex. post), API (ex. v1/1128700/patients), headers (ex. Content-Type), and parameters for the call (ex. the patient details to be created) - to build and carry out the appropriate HTTP request.

This function is used as the fundamental API operation function in the provided wrapper methods and can also be independently called for a custom operation. An example of how ATHENAcustom can be used to directly query the same endpoint as ATHENAsearchPatients is shown below:
