API not found, Requesting a new one possibly

[Prithviraj]

Hey,

I was wondering if it was possible for us to define relationships through API calls, like if a patient wants to register their child, the relationship between them would need to be marked, I saw from the schema that the Guardian table is responsible for storing relationships, but there has been no API I found that allows me access it or edit it, am I missing something? or is there some workaround for this to be able to declare the relationship between patients and if possibly also link them to the same superfamily too.

Hope there is a solution to this or maybe a new API possibly in the future,

Thanks!

Hello Prithviraj,

I have added Guardian to the API development list.

Thanks!

Thank you for the quick response,

I have some follow up enquiries,

Does the guardian table functionally affect other aspects of the patient's information like PatPlans for example or is it simply there for storing relations and not used much?
Secondly, what's the expected timeline on the API eventually being available?

Thanks again!

Hello Prithviraj,

You are correct, the guardian table is mostly used for storing relationships and not used much.
