Athenahealth offers a testing sandbox to interact and develop against their athenaOne and FHIR API server. If you want to try out the https://interfaceware.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IXB/pages/2854912002 in Iguana X, you’ll first need to login or signup for an Athenahealth developer account and get access credentials:

Go to https://developer.api.athena.io/ams-portal/ and login or sign up with password reset!

You computer Public IP needs to be in an Athenahealth supported region (ex. US), otherwise you won’t be able to access Athenahealth Sandbox

  • API Access: We use the “My app will use 1+ non-Certified APIs“ option for interacting both AthenaOne and FHIR API

  • AP Category: Select the OAuth method you’ll be using - in our case, we’ll use 2-legged OAuth since Iguana is connecting at a system level

 

Enter the following required information:

  1. Public-facing app name

  2. Description

  3. App Contact Information

  4. Authentication Method

    1. For our example, we use “Secret“ but Iguana X is capable of supporting “JWK“ authentication Method

  5. Click on “I Agree“

Once you submit the details, you’ll receive Your App’s Credentials (Client ID and Secret). Make sure to note these down as you’ll need to load them into the component in Iguana.
