Samacare Authentication

  live HTTP probes of https://api.samacare.com (root, /docs, /graphql, /openapi.json,
  /.well-known/*) — 2026-08-26
note: >-
  Derived from the live challenge, not from a published contract: SamaCare publishes no
  OpenAPI, no auth reference and no developer portal. Every path on api.samacare.com,
  without exception, returns HTTP 401 with an RFC 6750 Bearer challenge. The scheme below
  is what the server itself asserts; the token issuance flow (authorization server,
  grant type, scopes, lifetime) is NOT observable anonymously and is NOT recorded here.

  note: >-
    The Bearer challenge is RFC 6750 shaped, but no authorization-server metadata document
    is reachable anonymously, so we cannot confirm whether tokens are issued by an OAuth 2.0
    authorization server or are opaque partner-issued API tokens. Recorded as unknown rather
    than guessed.

  how_access_is_obtained: >-
    Through an EHR/EMR/RCM partnership or a customer agreement arranged via
    https://samacare.com/contact-us — there is no public key issuance, signup-for-an-API
    flow, or sandbox.
