Fees are set case by case and the sandbox is requested by form\n\n### Terra API (B)\n\nGood for: A fitness, wellness, insurance or research product whose users connect consumer wearables and apps, and an agent that needs to read one user's sleep, activity or body data through MCP.\n\nAhead on:\n- Reliability, 67 against 58\n- Schema \u0026 documentation, 89 against 80\n- Agent ergonomics, 78 against 72\n- Payments \u0026 pricing, 20 against 5\n- Maintenance \u0026 community, 75 against 63\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install\n\nWatch for: No free tier.

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**Terra API.** Graded on the Unified API and the Terra AI MCP server. A public OpenAPI 3.1 spec, llms.txt, per-user rate limits with Retry-After, and scoped admin tokens with approvals. Access starts at $499 a month with billing details at sign-up, the data API key has no scopes, and API key requests failed for 2 hours 38 minutes on 7 August 2026.\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### Terra API\n\n1. Send dev-id and x-api-key headers on every Unified API and Terra AI call. A missing header returns 401 problem+json\n2. Keep each request window to 1,825 days or less and under 6,000 requested days per user an hour. On 429 with rule r2, wait Retry-After seconds\n3. Pass either fields or select to Terra AI tools, never both and never neither, or the call fails with a validation error\n4. Expect data by webhook after a user connects through the widget session. REST reads are for backfills and on-demand queries\n5. Use the Read only access level for the admin MCP server unless a change is needed. The MCP level can read API keys\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Health Gorilla or Terra API?\n\nTerra API scores 65.9 (B) on agent readiness against Health Gorilla's 59.3 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Health Gorilla leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Health Gorilla and Terra API need an API key?\n\nHealth Gorilla uses an OAuth sign-in. Terra API takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Health Gorilla and Terra API without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Health Gorilla. Terra API has a hosted endpoint at https://access.tryterra.co/api/v2/mcp/\u003cuser_id\u003e.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/health-gorilla-vs-terra.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/health-gorilla-vs-terra.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"health-gorilla\", \"b\": \"terra\"}`.
