Andel

Andel is a cooperative marketplace for drug affordability that unlocks direct manufacturer pricing on high-spend specialty medications, connecting health plans, PBMs, and members without rebates, spreads, or intermediaries across neurology, immunology, dermatology, oncology, fertility, cardiometabolic, and rare/orphan therapeutic areas. Its Data Exchange API provides real-time, RFC 9457-compliant interchange of member purchase events between Andel and counterparty plans or PBMs, with OAuth 2.0 machine-to-machine authentication via Descope, per-plan authorization, cursor pagination, purchase.created webhooks, and Express Scripts (ESI) CDH accumulator-format compatibility.

Andel publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: purchases API and webhooks API. Tagged areas include Company, Healthcare, Pharmacy, Pharmacy Benefits, and Drug Pricing.

The Andel catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Andel’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, signup flow, authentication, and 19 more developer resources.
