# Epic (FHIR)

> Integrate your application with the Epic FHIR API using SMART Backend Services

## 🚀 Quickstart

Connect to Epic with Nango and see data flow in a few minutes. Epic uses the SMART Backend Services flow — a machine-to-machine, JWT-signed authentication, with no end-user OAuth redirect.

**1. Create the integration**

In Nango ([free signup](https://app.nango.dev)), go to **Integrations** → *Configure New Integration* → *Epic (FHIR)*. Register your Client ID, Key ID, Private Key, and Scope in the **Settings** tab — see the [setup guide](https://nango.dev/docs/api-integrations/epic/how-to-register-your-own-epic-app). These are entered once and reused automatically by every connection.

**2. Connect a health system**

Each connection represents one health system. Create it by supplying that health system's Interconnect Server URL — see the [connect guide](https://nango.dev/docs/api-integrations/epic/connect) for the exact fields.

**3. Call the Epic FHIR API**

Make your first request. Nango's proxy base URL stops at `/api`, so include the FHIR version your app registered for (e.g. `FHIR/R4`) in the path yourself. Replace the placeholders with your API key (from **Environment Settings**), integration ID, and connection ID:

**cURL**

```bash theme={null}
curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/FHIR/R4/Patient" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-API-KEY>" \
  -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
  -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"
```

**Node**

Install Nango's backend SDK with `npm i @nangohq/node`. Then run:

```typescript theme={null}
import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';

const nango = new Nango({ apiKey: '<NANGO-API-KEY>' });

const res = await nango.get({
    endpoint: '/FHIR/R4/Patient',
    providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
    connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>'
});

console.log(res.data);
```

Or fetch credentials with the [Node SDK](https://nango.dev/docs/reference/backend/backend-sdk/node.md#get-a-connection-with-credentials) or [API](https://nango.dev/docs/reference/backend/http-api/connections/get.md).

✅ You're connected! Check the **Logs** tab in Nango to inspect requests.

**4. Implement Nango in your app**

Follow our [Auth implementation guide](https://nango.dev/docs/guides/auth/auth-guide.md) to integrate Nango in your app.
