Nookal Appointments API

  title: Nookal Appointments API
  description: 'REST API for Nookal, Australian-built practice management software for allied health clinics. The API exposes patients, cases, treatment notes, files, appointments, class bookings, availabilities, clinic reference data (locations, practitioners, appointment/class types, stock), and invoices.


    Base URL: https://api.nookal.com/production/v2/. All requests are authenticated with an account-issued API key passed as the `api_key` parameter (query string for GET requests, form field for POST requests). Responses are JSON using a common envelope: `{"status":"success"|"failure","data":{...},"details":{...}}`. On failure, `details` carries `errorMessage`, `errorCode`, and an `alerts` array. Read endpoints are paginated via `page` and `page_length`, and the response `details` object reports `totalItems`, `currentItems`, `currentPage`, and `nextPage`.


    Endpoint paths, methods, and parameters are grounded in Nookal''s public API reference (https://api.nookal.com/dev). The `verify`, `getLocations`, and `getPatients` surfaces were confirmed live against the production host; the `api_key` requirement is confirmed by live probes. Request and response body schemas below are MODELED from the documented object reference and the live JSON envelope, not copied from a machine-readable Nookal specification (Nookal does not publish one), so field-level shapes should be verified against a live account before production use.'
