Part 3: Get Dr Chrono Data in Sheets

To create a request, include your full request URL in the request URL field, and select your custom Dr Chrono connection from the dropdown OAuth menu.

You can see the full list of available endpoint and parameters in the API documentation. For example, to get a list of patient allergies, run a request like this:

• Application: Custom
• Method: GET
• Request URL: https://app.drchrono.com/api/allergies
• OAuth: Custom Dr Chrono

Part 4: Handle Pagination

By default, Dr Chrono will limit the number of records returned at one time (usually to 250 records per page). To fetch more records, use pagination handling.

• Pagination type: next page URL
• Next page path: next
• Run until: choose when to stop fetching data
