Observed surface

Base URL: https://api.medplum.com/fhir/R4
Category: EHR vendor sandboxes
Availability: answered 58 of the last 58 daily checks (100%)
Last answered: 2026-10-03 (answered on this run)
Vantage agreement: reachable from all 3 vantages, which are 3 hosts on one network (github-actions): one network's view sampled 3 times, not 3 independent networks

What each vantage saw

reached from 3 of 3 reporting vantages, on 1 network
Vantage	Result	What it saw	Condition
`github-actions/macos-latest`	reached	answered in 38 ms	HTTP 200
`github-actions/ubuntu-latest`	reached	answered in 605 ms	HTTP 200
`github-actions/windows-latest`	reached	answered in 421 ms	HTTP 200

Vantages on one network are one network’s view sampled several times. A rule applied to that network’s address space reaches every one of them at once and reads exactly like agreement.

Interpretation

A grade describes two public discovery documents at one point in time. It does not inspect patient data, authenticated behavior, or clinical quality.

Declared app-to-server access

What the endpoint's own documents declare about app-to-server access, observed on this run. Nothing here was requested or exercised, and none of it is graded. An absent field is reported as absent, not as a refusal: a document that does not mention a field has not said anything about it.
