FHIR Bundle Data load using Postman

Question

Hi,

I am not finding any documentation around how to post sample test data FHIR Bundles I generated using Synthea tool
I provided the REST API URL as https:///Bundle and submitted using POST

The response looks like the data got created also under response header I see Location parameter getting populated with a value URL as http:///Bundle/43c5cec8-c677-4e33-b024-9b5b7ce1cc7d/_history/1...I dont know what it means or how to use it

Later I tried GET method to retrieve patient\observation data i don't see any records that i posted using FHIR bundle.

Can you please help

Fyi..I have deployed a custom azure fhir server using the template and the backend is SQL Server

In general I am not finding any good documentation around how customers can use Azure API for FHIR to perform bulk load testing
Please advise.

Answer 1

@Neeraj Shrivastava Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.
I found this document on FHIR using postman did you try checking this.
Posting the bundle will create the bundle at the endpoint but not extract the resources.
You must post it to the root of the FHIR service (https://<base URL>/) to achieve that.
Source: Http - FHIR v4.3.0

Answer 2

@Neeraj Shrivastava Yes, remove the “/Bundle” from your request. Just use https://<base URL> please give a try and let me know if you still have any issues.

Hello Geetha, Thank you. I am familiar with using Postman.
My question is how to ingest bulk data such as FHIR Bundle that containts data for many resources in one JSON file using POSTMAN

I used URL parameter as https://<base URL>/Bundle and submitted using POST and I got a success response, however when i do a GET operation I dont see the data that got successfully inserted

Does Azure supports ingesting FHIR Bundle data, I have attached the file I used for ingestion its a test file generated using synthea tool so anyone can use it.

Thanks,
Neeraj.

Answer 4

Thank you very much Geetha, That solved my issue. I removed /Bundle and confirmed that data got successfully inserted.
