Cliniko

Cliniko is practice management software for allied health practices and clinics - physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic, podiatry, psychology, massage, and similar - covering patient records, appointment scheduling and online bookings, practitioners and businesses (locations), treatment notes, invoicing, and payments. Cliniko exposes a well-documented public REST API over HTTPS. The API is region-sharded - the base host is derived from the shard suffix on your API key (for example `https://api.au1.cliniko.com/v1/`) - and is authenticated with an API key passed as the username in HTTP Basic authentication. Every request must also send a `User-Agent` header containing an app/vendor name and a valid contact email, or requests may be blocked.

Cliniko publishes 7 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Appointment Types API, Appointments API, Businesses API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Practice Management, Healthcare, Allied Health, Appointments, and Scheduling.

The Cliniko catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
