api:manage-patients
external_identifiers is merge/append-only — new (system, value) pairs are added, and anything already stored (including a platform integration’s identifier) is left untouched; an empty list is rejected — use remove_patient_external_identifiers to remove one. metadata={} clears metadata.
Parameters
str
required
Olira patient id.
str | None
New given name.
str | None
New family name.
str | None
New email.
str | None
New phone.
str | None
New sex/gender.
str | None
New timezone.
list[ExternalIdentifier] | None
Adds any (system, value) pair not already stored; never modifies or removes an existing one. [] is rejected — see remove_patient_external_identifiers.
dict[str, Any] | None
Replace metadata; {} clears.
Returns
Patient
str
Olira patient id.
str | None
Given name.
str | None
Family name.
str | None
Sex/gender.
str
Timezone.
str
Status.
str | None
Email.
str | None
Phone.
str | None
DOB.
str | None
Created at.
list[ExternalIdentifier]
External ids. Each carries integration_id (str | None) — platform-assigned, read-only; None if you supplied the identifier yourself.
dict[str, Any] | None
Metadata.
Raises
| Exception | When |
|---|---|
AuthError | HTTP 401 or 403 — invalid API key or insufficient OAuth scope for this endpoint. |
ValidationError | HTTP 400, 404, or 422 — malformed JSON, unknown patient, or validation failure (message includes response excerpt). |
ServerError | HTTP 409 (e.g. conflicting external identifier) or repeated 5xx after retries; includes status_code when applicable. |
RateLimitError | HTTP 429 — rate limited; check retry_after (seconds). |
NetworkError | Connection timeout, DNS failure, or read error after retries. |
