Authenticating as a system user with OpenEMR's FHIR API using OAuth2
At Opal we want to support the current industry standard in healthcare integration which is SMART on FHIR. This also makes sense given that Opal has a partnership with OpenEMR which supports this standard.
In this article I describe how to authenticate a backend service using the client_credentials grant in Python in two different ways (i.e., with two different packages).
For example, this is required when making use of the Bulk Export API.
