**C · 57.9/100 · rank #628 of 1076 · #6 in Health records & wellness data · not agent-ready · confidence medium**


Assessment: Graded on the Inform REST and Streaming APIs. An agent can create a free developer account through a sign-up API, with only an emailed code needing a person's inbox, and llms.txt plus agent guides document every step. The organisation token travels in the URL query string, the free tier holds synthetic data only, and production access needs an Enterprise contract.

## Before you call it

1. Show the developer the free-tier terms and wait for acceptance before calling `POST /auth/register`
2. Send `Authorization: <id_token>` to sign-up calls, but pass the organisation token as `?token=` on Inform calls
3. Use the customer `uid` in URLs, never Validic's internal `id`, which returns a silent 404
4. Keep date ranges to 30 days or less and page month by month for backfills
5. Unwrap `data` on list responses and treat an empty array as normal on a new account

## Connect

```bash
curl "https://api.v2.validic.com/organizations/$ORG_ID/users?token=$ORG_TOKEN"
```
