Aurabox REST API

What This Skill Does

Generates correct, working client code for the Aurabox Cloud REST API. Knows the full API surface -- patients, cases, studies -- including authentication, pagination, and error handling. Produces idiomatic code in Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, PHP, and curl.

Prerequisites

• An Aurabox account with API access enabled
• An API key (generated from the Aurabox dashboard under your team settings)
• Familiarity with REST APIs

Quick Reference

Base URL

https://au.aurabox.cloud

Authentication

All requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_AUTH_KEY}
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json

API keys are generated in the Aurabox web interface. They are scoped to a team realm.

Security : API keys are sensitive. Never commit them to source control. Use environment variables or a secrets manager.

OpenAPI / Postman

Machine-readable specs are available:

• OpenAPI: https://au.aurabox.app/docs/openapi.yaml
• Postman collection: https://au.aurabox.app/docs/collection.json

API Surface

Patients

Full CRUD for patient records within the authenticated team realm.

Data Model

{
  "id": "003fb6c7-a399-46de-8199-ac51e031bd10",
  "given_names": "Jessica",
  "family_name": "Jones",
  "date_of_birth": "1985-06-15",
  "sex": "female",
  "address": {
    "street": "123 Main Street",
    "city": "Sydney",
    "region": "NSW",
    "postcode": "2000",
    "country": "au"
  },
  "status": "active",
  "archived": false,
  "created_at": "2025-01-15T10:30:00.000000Z",
  "updated_at": "2025-01-15T10:30:00.000000Z"
}

Endpoints

List Parameters

Create/Update Fields

Cases (De-identified Patients)

Cases are patients whose identity has been removed. Only a label and non-identifying metadata are stored.

Data Model

{
  "id": "003fb6c7-a399-46de-8199-ac51e031bd10",
  "label": "CASE-00142",
  "status": "deidentified",
  "archived": false,
  "created_at": "2025-01-15T10:30:00.000000Z",
  "updated_at": "2025-01-15T10:30:00.000000Z"
}

Endpoints

List Parameters

Create/Update Fields

Studies

Studies are nested under patients. Each study represents a medical imaging study (e.g., a CT scan, MRI, X-ray).

Endpoints

Pagination

All list endpoints return paginated responses using Laravel-style pagination:

{
  "data": [ ... ],
  "links": {
    "first": "https://au.aurabox.cloud/api/v1/patients?page=1",
    "last": "https://au.aurabox.cloud/api/v1/patients?page=5",
    "prev": null,
    "next": "https://au.aurabox.cloud/api/v1/patients?page=2"
  },
  "meta": {
    "current_page": 1,
    "from": 1,
    "last_page": 5,
    "per_page": 25,
    "to": 25,
    "total": 112
  }
}

To paginate, follow the links.next URL or increment the page query parameter.

curl

# List patients
curl -s "https://au.aurabox.cloud/api/v1/patients" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AURABOX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" | jq

# Create a case
curl -s -X POST "https://au.aurabox.cloud/api/v1/cases" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AURABOX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{"label": "STUDY-2025-001"}' | jq

# Get studies for a patient

  -H "Accept: application/json" | jq

Error Handling

The API returns standard HTTP status codes:

Error responses include a message field:

{
  "message": "Not found"
}

Validation errors include field-level detail:

{
  "message": "The given data was invalid.",
  "errors": {
    "given_names": ["The given names field is required."],
    "family_name": ["The family name field is required."]
  }
}

Common Patterns

Iterate All Patients

# Python: paginate through all patients
all_patients = list(client.paginate(client.list_patients))

Search and Filter

# Find active patients named "Smith"
results = client.list_patients(search="Smith", archived=False)

Bulk Case Creation (Research)

# Create cases for a research cohort
import csv

with open("cohort.csv") as f:
    for row in csv.DictReader(f):
        client.create_case(
            label=row["study_id"],
            sex=row.get("sex"),
            date_of_birth=row.get("dob"),
        )

Gotchas

• IDs are UUIDs -- not sequential integers. Always use the id field from API responses.
• Patient vs Case -- Patients have PII (names, addresses). Cases are de-identified (label only). Use cases for research data.
• Studies are nested -- Study endpoints require a patient_id in the URL path. You cannot query studies globally.
• Dates must be before today -- The API rejects future dates for date_of_birth.
• Country is 2-char ISO -- The address.country field accepts ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes only (e.g., au).
