FHIR API Client Development

This skill provides documentation for Canvas FHIR API endpoints, enabling plugin development when the Canvas SDK alone doesn't cover the needed data access or write operations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• A plugin needs data only available via FHIR endpoints (not exposed in the SDK)
• A plugin needs to write data in a way only possible through FHIR
• Building integrations that interact with Canvas FHIR APIs
• You need to understand FHIR resource structures and endpoints available on Canvas

Usage

IMPORTANT: The full FHIR documentation is bundled with this skill. DO NOT download, curl, or fetch remote files.

The context file fhir_client_context.txt is located in the same directory as this SKILL.md file.

When you read this skill, note the path to this SKILL.md file, then read fhir_client_context.txt from that same directory.

To use this skill:

1. Read fhir_client_context.txt from this skill's directory - it already exists locally
2. Search the file for specific FHIR resource types, endpoints, or operations
3. Use the documentation to understand available FHIR APIs and their usage

NEVER attempt to curl or download fhir_client_context.txt - it is already bundled here.
