Provider directory API access guide

Overview

The provider directory is an open access and public-facing API to make provider directory information available. This API does not require any authentication for any user.

This documentation presumes that anyone accessing the API is familiar with the implementation guide for provider directory, FHIR US DAVINCI-PDEX v4.0.1.
