Patient consent and connection flow. Flexpa Link walks a patient through selecting their health plan and authorizing access; the OAuth 2.0 PKCE authorization endpoint (GET /oauth/authorize) returns an authorization code that is exchanged for a Patient Access Token.
openapi: 3.0.1
info:
title: Flexpa API
description: >-
Flexpa lets applications connect a patient to their health insurance plan and
retrieve claims and clinical data as normalized FHIR R4 resources. Patients
authorize access through Flexpa Link using OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, producing a
Patient Access Token. Server-to-server Application Access Tokens are minted
with the client_credentials grant using publishable and secret keys. The FHIR
API is served under https://api.flexpa.com/fhir.

description: >-
The token endpoint supports the authorization_code grant (with PKCE
code_verifier) to obtain a Patient Access Token, the refresh_token grant to
renew it, and the client_credentials grant (Basic auth with
publishable_key:secret_key) to mint a server-to-server Application Access
Token. Application Access Tokens are JWTs signed with ES256 and live for 30
minutes.
