Filter by fields and raw. Supported by 24 Procedure integrations." date: "2026-10-24T20:36:42.560Z" updated: "2026-10-24T20:36:42.560Z" --- # Retrieve a procedure Updated: October 24, 2026 GET/healthcare/{connection\_id}/procedure/{id} Retrieves a single HealthcareProcedure by its \`id\`. Obtain \`id\` values from the corresponding list endpoint. Use \`fields\` to return only the fields you need. ## Parameters **fields**string array id created\_at updated\_at patient\_id encounter\_id practitioner\_ids location\_id condition\_ids name codes status reasons body\_sites start\_at end\_at notes metadata raw Fields to return **raw**string Raw parameters to include in the 3rd-party request. Encoded as a URL component. eg. raw parameters: foo=bar&zoo=bar -> raw=foo%3Dbar%26zoo%3Dbar **connection\_id**string required ID of the connection **id**string required ID of the Procedure ## Returns [HealthcareProcedure](https://docs.unified.to/healthcare/procedure/model.md) | Response field | Type | Required | Description | | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | id | string | No | Unique identifier for the procedure | | created\_at | string (date-time) | No | When the procedure record was created (ISO-8601 / YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ format) | | updated\_at | string (date-time) | No | When the procedure record was last updated (ISO-8601 / YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ format) | | patient\_id | string | No | The patient the procedure was performed on | | encounter\_id | string | No | The encounter in which the procedure was performed | | practitioner\_ids | string\[\] | No | The practitioners who performed the procedure | | location\_id | string | No | Where the procedure was performed | | condition\_ids | string\[\] | No | Conditions that justified the procedure | | name | string | No | Human-readable name of the procedure | | codes | [HealthcareCode](https://docs.unified.to/healthcare/procedure/Retrieve%5Fa%5Fprocedure.md#HealthcareCode)\[\] | No | Codings for the procedure (e.g. CPT, SNOMED CT) | | codes\[\].system | string | No | The code system URI (e.g. http://loinc.org, http://snomed.info/sct) | | codes\[\].code | string | No | The code within the system | | codes\[\].display | string | No | Human-readable display text for the code | | status | enum | No | Status of the procedure Values: PREPARATION, IN\_PROGRESS, NOT\_DONE, ON\_HOLD, STOPPED, COMPLETED, ENTERED\_IN\_ERROR, UNKNOWN, OTHER | | reasons | [HealthcareCode](https://docs.unified.to/healthcare/procedure/Retrieve%5Fa%5Fprocedure.md#HealthcareCode)\[\] | No | Codings for the reason the procedure was performed | | reasons\[\].system | string | No | The code system URI (e.g. http://loinc.org, http://snomed.info/sct) | | reasons\[\].code | string | No | The code within the system | | reasons\[\].display | string | No | Human-readable display text for the code | | body\_sites | [HealthcareCode](https://docs.unified.to/healthcare/procedure/Retrieve%5Fa%5Fprocedure.md#HealthcareCode)\[\] | No | Codings for the anatomical locations of the procedure | | body\_sites\[\].system | string | No | The code system URI (e.g. http://loinc.org, http://snomed.info/sct) | | body\_sites\[\].code | string | No | The code within the system | | body\_sites\[\].display | string | No | Human-readable display text for the code | | start\_at | string (date-time) | No | When the procedure was performed (or started) (ISO-8601 / YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ format) | | end\_at | string (date-time) | No | When the procedure ended (ISO-8601 / YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ format) | | notes | string | No | Free-text notes about the procedure | | metadata | [HealthcareMetadata](https://docs.unified.to/healthcare/procedure/Retrieve%5Fa%5Fprocedure.md#HealthcareMetadata)\[\] | No | Custom field values | | metadata\[\].id | string | No | Identifier of the custom field | | metadata\[\].value | object | No | The custom field value | | metadata\[\].namespace | string | No | The scope or origin of the custom field | | metadata\[\].format | enum | No | The data type of the value Values: TEXT, NUMBER, DATE, BOOLEAN, ARRAY, OBJECT | | metadata\[\].extra\_data | object | No | Additional data about the custom field | | metadata\[\].slug | string | No | The custom field key | ## Errors Errors return the HTTP status code and a JSON body with `statusCode`, `error` (the short label) and `message` (a human-readable detail). ```json { "statusCode": 429, "error": "Too Many Requests", "message": "Too many requests to unified.to API; max requests per minute: N" } ``` | Status | Error | Meaning | | ------ | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | 400 | Bad Request | The request was malformed or failed validation. | | 401 | Unauthorized | The connection is likely broken; re-authorize it. | | 403 | Forbidden | The connection is missing permissions or scopes. | | 404 | Not Found | The requested resource does not exist. | | 429 | Too Many Requests | Rate limit exceeded (see the two sources below). | | 500 | Internal Server Error | An unexpected error occurred. | | 501 | Not Implemented | Not supported by this integration. | Errors from the underlying integration pass through: the integration's status comes back as ours (429, 401, 403, 404 or 5xx), usually with its message. When the integration's error body is unclear, Unified extracts what it can and returns a clearer message. ### 429 Too Many Requests A 429 has two possible sources: * The integration's own rate limit, passed through. * Unified's workspace limit: a rolling 60 seconds, set by plan, with the message `Too many requests to unified.to API; max requests per minute: N`. ## Code Samples ### Node.js SDK ```javascript import { UnifiedTo } from '@unified-api/typescript-sdk'; const sdk = new UnifiedTo({ security: { jwt: '', }, }); const connectionId = '5de520f96e439b002043d8dc'; const id = '1234'; const results = await sdk.healthcare.getHealthcareProcedure({ connectionId, id, fields: '', raw: '', }); ``` ### Node.js (axios) ```javascript const options = { method: 'GET', url: 'https://api.unified.to/healthcare/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/procedure/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8', headers: { authorization: 'bearer .....' }, params: { fields: '', raw: '', } }; const results = await axios.request(options); ``` ### Java ```java AsyncHttpClient client = new DefaultAsyncHttpClient(); client.prepare("GET", "https://api.unified.to/healthcare/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/procedure/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw=") .setHeader("accept", "application/json") .setHeader("authorization", ".....") .execute() .toCompletableFuture() .thenAccept(System.out::println) .join(); client.close(); ``` ### Go ```go import ( "fmt" "net/http" "io/ioutil" ) url := `https://api.unified.to/healthcare/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/procedure/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw= req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil) req.Header.Add("accept", "application/json") req.Header.Add("authorization", ".....") res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req) defer res.Body.Close() body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body) ``` ### Python ```python import requests url = "https://api.unified.to/healthcare/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/procedure/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw=" headers = { "accept": "application/json", "authorization": "....." } response = requests.get(url, headers=headers) ``` ### PHP ```php $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt_array($curl, [ CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.unified.to/healthcare/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/procedure/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw=", CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, CURLOPT_ENCODING => "", CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET", CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [ "accept: application/json", "authorization: ....." ], ]); ``` ### Ruby ```ruby require 'uri' require 'net/http' require 'openssl' url = URI("https://api.unified.to/healthcare/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/procedure/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw=") http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port) http.use_ssl = true request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url) request["accept"] = 'application/json' request["authorization"] = '....' response = http.request(request) puts response.read_body ``` ### cURL ```bash curl --request GET \ --url 'https://api.unified.to/healthcare/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/procedure/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw=' \ --header 'accept: application/json' \ --header 'authorization: .....' ```
