Create, list, retrieve, update, and delete treatment notes - the clinical notes taken about a patient visit. Notes use a structured sections/questions format (paragraph, text, radio buttons, checkboxes, and more) and are built from treatment note templates.

title: Cliniko API
description: >-
Cliniko is practice management software for allied health practices and
clinics. This is a representative subset of the public Cliniko REST API,
grounded in the official documentation at https://docs.api.cliniko.com and
the redguava/cliniko-api GitHub repository. It is not the complete surface -
Cliniko documents 50+ resources (appointment types, attendees, availability
blocks, billable items, bookings, businesses, communications, concession
types, contacts, group appointments, individual appointments, invoices,
invoice items, medical alerts, patients, patient attachments, patient cases,
patient forms, practitioners, products, recalls, referral sources, services,
settings, stock adjustments, taxes, treatment notes, users, and more).
Base URL is region-sharded. The shard is the suffix on your API key (for
example a key ending `-uk1` is served from `https://api.uk1.cliniko.com`);
keys with no suffix belong to the `au1` shard. All paths are prefixed with
`/v1`.
Authentication is HTTP Basic: the API key is the username and the password
is empty (`-u API_KEY:`). Every request MUST also send an `Accept:
application/json` header and a `User-Agent` header of the form
`APP_VENDOR_NAME (APP_VENDOR_EMAIL)` containing a valid contact email, or
requests may be automatically blocked. Requests are rate limited to 200 per
minute per user; a `429` response includes an `X-RateLimit-Reset` header
with a UNIX timestamp.
Modeled note - the field sets below are drawn from the documented example
responses; some optional attributes may be omitted, and request-body schemas
are representative rather than exhaustive.
