FHIR Bulk Data API
summary
A FHIR-based bulk export standard exposes an asynchronous $export operation that supports $export patient/group/system requests, returns NDJSON files split by resource type, and provides a transactionTime for incremental pulls via a since parameter. Servers reply 202 with a content-location then 200 listing file URLs and optional operationOutcome errors. Authorization uses server-to-server short-lived tokens (JWT-like key exchange). Reference implementations include the SMART reference server and a GUI/CLI client; CMS sandbox and major EHR vendors are piloting.
