# Overview — Vitrify IVF Software API

> API in active development. Conventions on this page are stable; the endpoint reference and exact values marked “at launch” are published when the API ships.

The Vitrify API is a REST interface for integrating fertility clinic operations with the platform. It exposes operational data such as appointments, leads, billing and reporting. Patient, embryo and donor medical records are not exposed.

## Base URL

The API is served under a versioned path. The host is issued to you at launch, and every request goes through the version prefix:

```
https://<host-issued-at-launch>/v1/
```

The v1 prefix is fixed for the first stable version. See Versioning for how later versions ship.

## Requests and responses

- Requests use standard HTTP methods (GET to read, POST to create, PATCH to update).
- Request and response bodies are JSON. Send Content-Type: application/json on writes.
- All traffic is over HTTPS.
- Timestamps are ISO 8601 in UTC (for example 2026-08-16T09:30:00Z).

## Authentication and limits

Requests are authenticated with an API key and are rate limited. See Authentication and Rate Limits. The concrete endpoint reference is published when the API ships.
