I don't want to use BASIC authentication for security reasons. What can I use instead?

We suggest OAuth implementation in Client Credentials Grant. You need to use “Client Credentials Grant + Access Policy”:

My search doesn’t work with the full link to the resource included. Why is that?

An example of the query that doesn't work:

GET /DocumentReference?patient=https://my.aidbox.app/Patient/1234

It’s called an absolute reference. Aidbox doesn't work with absolute references because the logic can become very tricky since these references can point to external servers.

Use relative references instead: GET /DocumentReference?patient=Patient/1234
