Welcome to the Ribbon API!

Whether you're new here or building on an existing implementation, we're excited to help you get started!

We built Ribbon to simplify healthcare decisions. Ribbon provides the most accurate and comprehensive data on providers, plans, and healthcare costs. Our goal is to enable your team to build a seamless and effective care navigation solution for your users.

To this goal, we have built extensive documentation to help you better understand Ribbon's data and API. The documentation is split into two sections: Guides and API Reference. Below, we will go through how your team should use both of these sections.

Guides

Ribbon's Guides provide a comprehensive overview of our data and help you understand how to build complete workflows using individual API endpoints. These guides are split up into a few sections:


  1. Ribbon Data: Interpreting Ribbon data and our different product modules
  2. Workflow Guides: Common workflows/use cases for using Ribbon's API
  3. API Information: Limitations and optimizations of Ribbon's API
