Authenticate to Azure FHIR API (azurehealthcareapis)

[portegah85]

Hi all, Im using Health Data Services, I need to create the FhirClient calling the Azure FHIR server

var _fhirServer = 'https://myserver.fhir.azurehealthcareapis.com'
var fhirClient = new FhirClient(_fhirServer)

var resourceUrl = $"Patient/{Id}";
var patient = fhirClient.Read(resourceUrl); // Response: 401 Unauthenticated

I have been playing with the constructor to see if there is any way to pass the bearer token in the call to be able to authenticate successfully

Any help will be great, Thanks!

There's a chat discussion that covers this waaay back.

You can use a message handler of your own to inject the authorization header to the httpclient passed into the constructor of the FhirClient.

There is some documentation how to add a custom MessageHandler to the FHIR Client. Here:

https://docs.fire.ly/projects/Firely-NET-SDK/en/latest/client/request-response.html

In the example a basic AuthenticationHandler is used. Hope that helps.
