README

This API allows you to easily look up providers using the NPI Registry API (https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/registry/help-api).

Installation

via composer:

composer require adesigns/nppes-api

Basic Usage

1. Search for providers by any number of parameters. Will return an ApiResponse object with all providers.

To search the registry by a non-unique parameter (IE number), pass an array of parameters to the search() method. Available parameters can be seen in the NPPES Demo @ https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/api/demo

$client = new NPPESApi();

$results = $client->search(array('last_name' => "Smith"));

var_dump($results);

1. Search for a single provider by NPI Number. Will return a single Provider object.

$client = new NPPESApi();

/** @var Provider **/
$provider = $client->searchByNumber(1234567890);

var_dump($provider);
