Endpoints
Copied from the vendor's own reference. Where a path is described rather than published, the description is what the vendor states.
| Method | Endpoint | Mode | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| — | Medical encounter transcription | Batch | Described in the docs landing page; method and path released on access request. |
| — | Clinical note generation | Session | Ambient note generation for an encounter. |
| — | Coding intelligence (ICD-10 suggestions) | Session | Integrated CDI output alongside the note. |
| — | EHR patient context | Session | Supply chart context to the documentation request. |
Published rate limits

| Concurrency / requests per minute | Not publicly documented |
|---|
Published pricing
List prices as published on the vendor's own pricing page at the verification date. Follow the source link before you quote these to anyone.
| Published price | Not publicly disclosed |

Data handling and compliance
The three answers a health-system security review will ask you for, as published.

How to integrate the Ambience Healthcare API
An ordered path based on the public documentation, written for an engineering team scoping the work.
- 01
Request documentation access
Email the EMR integration address listed on the docs site; access is granted per requester.
- 02
Scope the OAuth flow
Confirm which OAuth 2.0 grant you are issued — client credentials versus authorization code changes your architecture.
- 03
Confirm output shape
Ask whether note and coding output arrive as structured fields or FHIR resources before you design the write-back.
- 04
Get limits in writing
Rate limits and concurrency are unpublished; make them contractual so capacity planning is possible.
What the documentation does not warn you about
The judgement an endpoint list cannot give you.
You cannot see a payload before an email exchange, so your evaluation timeline depends on someone else's inbox. Plan a parallel spike against a self-serve vendor so your project is not blocked on access.
