Access is sales-led, with case-by-case fees, a sandbox by request and no published rate limit numbers, and the API terms allow access to be cut at any time.\n\n**ROOK.** Graded on the REST API. A public OpenAPI file, a free Sandbox from the self-serve portal, published plan prices and a dated changelog. Credentials are one client UUID and secret per environment with no scopes, 429 handling isn't documented, the API is meant for occasional queries rather than bulk reads, and no SOC 2 report or security contact was found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Health Gorilla\n\n1. Send a fresh UUID in `HG-Idempotency-Key` on every POST and reuse it only when retrying the same payload\n2. Poll async operations no sooner than the `Retry-After` value and treat 454 as an expired result\n3. Follow `link.relation=next` in Bundles rather than building offsets yourself\n4. Expect mocked Patient360 data in sandbox unless network connectivity is enabled for the tenant\n5. Log `X-HG-Request-Id` from each response for support cases\n\n### ROOK\n\n1. Send HTTP Basic auth with client_uuid as the username and the secret key as the password, plus a User-Agent header, or the WAF returns 403\n2. Use https://api.rook-connect.review for Sandbox and https://api.rook-connect.com for production. Each has its own credentials\n3. Read health data from the data webhook. Use the API only for occasional queries, and stay under 60 requests a minute\n4. Deduplicate summaries on document_version and datetime. ROOK resends a summary with a higher document_version when it changes\n5. Call POST /api/v1/user_id/{user_id}/data_sources/revoke_auth to end a connection. Some providers take hours to stop sending data\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Health Gorilla or ROOK?\n\nHealth Gorilla scores 59.3 (C) on agent readiness against ROOK's 54.9 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. ROOK leads on reliability, payments \u0026 pricing and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Health Gorilla and ROOK need an API key?\n\nHealth Gorilla uses an OAuth sign-in. ROOK needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Health Gorilla and ROOK without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Health Gorilla. No hosted endpoint is listed for ROOK.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/health-gorilla-vs-rook.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/health-gorilla-vs-rook.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"health-gorilla\", \"b\": \"rook\"}`.
