Start Document Query
Triggers a document query for the specified patient across HIEs.
When executed, this endpoint triggers an asynchronous document query across HIEs. This is a two step process where the documents will first be downloaded from the respective HIE and, if they are C-CDA/XML, then converted to FHIR.
Each process (download, conversion) will contain its own total
and status
as well as the count for successful
operations and errors
.
When the asynchronous document query finishes, it stores new/updated document references for future requests and
updates the status of download to completed
. Meanwhile, in the background, files will be converted and the convert count will be
incremented. Once all documents have been converted it too will be marked as completed
.
If there’s no document to be converted, the total will be set to zero and the status to completed
.
Once each process completes, a webhook request will be sent to your configured URL containing the available data. Note: the webhooks will only contain updates for new data fetched in the current document query.
Webhook message types - see the respective section on the webhooks page for more details:
medical.document-download
: contains the newly downloaded documents for the patient;medical.document-conversion
: result of converting the newly downloaded C-CDA documents into FHIR.
If you were to trigger this endpoint again while the query is still processing, you will get a response that reflects the current query progress. So essentially, only a single document query will be running for a patient at any given time.
Query Params

You may use this to attach whatever metadata is relevant for your business use case - for example, external IDs. This metadata will be returned in the webhook response.
Response
The ID of your request. This can be referenced for support.
