There is some documentation here https://freshehr.github.io/dhi-proms

I'm not sure why the original Better Ehrscape API site is down

Hi @vijay_zharotia, just wanted to know if you have found EHRScape API or any alternative tool?

Hi @ian.mcnicoll, this documentation is helpful but not sure from where to get the source code for EHRScape? Is it not open-source anymore?

Hi Ishika,

The Ehrscape API was originally developed by Better but their EhrServer CDR has never been open-source. They do provide a Sandbox environment at which will work with Ehrscape https://sandbox.better.care/

The Vitasystems Ehrbase v1 also supports Ehrbase via the /ecis endpoint. Both are open-source

https://docs.ehrbase.org/

The docker-compose deploy is pretty easy

EhrBase v2 also supports the FLAT and STRUCTURED data formats but via the 'normal' openEHR REST API - We have not updated our Postman collection to support that yet but will do so shortly. I understand that Better are in the process of doing the same.

Hi there,

EHRSCAPE API is now deprecated and you will find functions as part of the official openEHR REST API (example creation, webtemplates, flat + structured). Once I'm back from vacations next week, I will clarify in the documentation.

Thanks a lot for your input @ian.mcnicoll. Will be looking forward for updated Postman collection.

Ohk. Thanks for your reply @birger.haarbrandt . Will be waiting for further clarifications in the documentation. I m a beginner in this domain so its getting little complicated to understand things directly from documentations.
