# athenahealth

> Integrate your application with the athenahealth API

## 🚀 Quickstart

Connect to athenahealth with Nango and see data flow in 2 minutes.

**1. Create the integration**

In Nango ([free signup](https://app.nango.dev)), go to the **Integrations** tab -> *Configure New Integration* -> *athenahealth*. In the integration's **Scopes** field, enter the scope athenahealth granted your app (e.g. `athena/service/Athenanet.MDP.*`) — without it, connections won't have API access.

**2. Authorize athenahealth**

Go to the **Connections** tab -> *Add Test Connection* -> *Authorize*, then enter your client ID, client secret, API environment, and practice ID. Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.

**3. Call the athenahealth API**

Let's make your first request to the athenahealth API (get your practice's info). Replace the placeholders below with your [Environment API key](https://nango.dev/docs/reference/backend/http-api/api-keys.md), [integration ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations), [connection ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections), and your athenahealth practice ID:

> [tab] cURL
>
> ```bash theme={null}
> curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/v1/<PRACTICE-ID>/practiceinfo" \
>   -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-API-KEY>" \
>   -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
>   -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"
> ```

> [tab] Node
>
> Install Nango's backend SDK with `npm i @nangohq/node`. Then run:
>
> ```typescript theme={null}
> import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';
>
> const nango = new Nango({ apiKey: '<NANGO-API-KEY>' });
>
> const res = await nango.get({
>     endpoint: `/v1/<PRACTICE-ID>/practiceinfo`,
>     providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
>     connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>'
> });
>
> console.log(res.data);
> ```

Or fetch credentials with the [Node SDK](https://nango.dev/docs/reference/backend/backend-sdk/node.md#get-a-connection-with-credentials) or [API](https://nango.dev/docs/reference/backend/http-api/connections/get.md).

✅ You're connected! Check the **Logs** tab in Nango to inspect requests.

**4. Implement Nango in your app**

Follow our [Auth implementation guide](https://nango.dev/docs/guides/primitives/auth.md) to integrate Nango in your app.
