title2) Endpoint - the URL where the resource is found

The URL defines where the client can access the desired resources - for example the Patient resource.  

Code Block
url='http://hapi.fhir.org/baseR4/Patient'

For GET requests, the URL may also contain any necessary query parameters like the id of the patient you are searching for.  

When using net.http.get{}, the parameters argument takes in a table of key-value pairs and automatically formats the query string.

Code Block
httpshttp://apihapi.examplefhir.comorg/baseR4/resourcePatient?param1id=value112324&param2name=value2John

  • MIME types

  • Entity tags (ETAGS)
