Handling Responses
When you issue a FHIR request, the server will return a standard HTTP response.
Response Status
The response status code tells you whether the request was successful.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 200 | OK |
| 201 | Resource Created |
| Other | An Error Occurred |
For more information about error responses, see Handling Errors.
For a successful request, the response body will contain the requested information.
Response Format
The response body uses XML format by default. You can request JSON format instead by specifying a data format in the request.
Resource Fields
Below is part of a response to a sample search request. For more information about what FHIR fields are supported and where that data comes from in the HIEBus system, see Mapping Fields.
