OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: Vim REST Authentication API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: 'The Vim REST API allows you to access various resources and services provided by Vim.

    The API is based on the OAuth 2.0 protocol and uses the client credentials grant type for authentication.

    Before calling any authenticated resource request, you must obtain an access token by calling the [Obtain access token](#post-token-obtain-an-access-token) endpoint.


    **Note**: The Vim API is only available for USA server-based instances. This means your application server must be hosted within the United States to access Vim''s EHR connectivity features. If you are a developer accessing from outside of the US, you need to use a VPN to connect, but your app server must still be in the US for production use.


    These docs are interactive, so you can change the request parameters and see the response in real-time. Try it out!'
