Coviu

Coviu is an Australian telehealth company, headquartered in Sydney and spun out of CSIRO's Data61, that provides a purpose-built video consultation platform for healthcare providers, allied health, and enterprise clinical networks. Its browser-based, WebRTC video calling supports virtual care workflows including waiting rooms, in-call clinical tools, screen and file sharing, medical device integrations, and payments. For developers, Coviu ships a secure OAuth2-protected REST API (base https://api.coviu.com) that lets applications create and manage video consultation Sessions and Participants, monitor Waiting Area queues in real time, retrieve Collections (submissions, files, and audio recordings), and receive event Webhooks, plus an in-call Plugin API and embedded iframe mode. Coviu is a telehealth video/interoperability layer rather than an EHR or FHIR data platform, so its documented public surface is REST + webhooks, not HL7 FHIR.

Coviu publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Sessions API, Participants API, Waiting Area API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Healthcare, Telehealth, Australia, Virtual Care, and Video.

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

Coviu’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, signup flow, engineering blog, and 26 more developer resources.
