Send and receive requests with DevTools

Once you're logged in and are part of an organization, you can simulate sending or receiving requests with the Redox DevTools and view the results within the Redox dashboard. We recommend that you read about the event types for data models at this time as well.

You can simulate sending requests via Redox by sending test requests to a mock EHR system within the Redox Health System connection. Then you can review these requests in the dashboard.

1. Log in to the dashboard.
2. From the navigation menu, click the Developer page.
3. By default, the Developer page opens and displays the API Keys tab. A default Redox API Endpoint API key has been created for you. Click the Edit button in the Redox API Endpoint tile.
4. The endpoint's Settings page displays. Two other DevTools tabs appear:
   • DevTools (Curl): Generates example curl command requests for each data model that you can use to send via your local machine.
   • DevTools (Postman): Contains download links to set up example requests through the common third-party tool Postman. Check out Postman.

You can use either option to generate and send requests to Redox and view the results.

Similarly, you can simulate receiving data by initiating test requests to an external endpoint via the dashboard.

1. Log in to the dashboard.
2. From the navigation menu, click the Developer page.
3. By default, the Developer page opens and displays the API Keys tab. From the tab options, click the Endpoints tab.
4. Any created endpoints display. For the endpoint that you want to use, click the Edit button. A DevTools tab opens where you can generate test requests and send them to this endpoint.

   

Either of the methods described above enable you to send and receive example requests in no time.

From here, we encourage you to read the documentation in Basics. The information in the Basics section teaches you about the dashboard, helps you get a feel for how connections with Redox work, and learn about the types of data you can exchange.

After that, we have full technical documentation on the Redox Data Model API and Redox FHIR® API that details how to integrate with Redox. These resources allow you to take a step beyond the DevTools requests and start working within your own system.
