Practice Better integration · United States
We connect nutrition and wellness practices, and the tools they use, to Practice Better. Practice Better offers a REST API in public beta for accounts on paid plans, turned on with an API Access add-on that its support team reviews. We set up the key and token flow, build the sync, and design for a beta API that can still change.
Add API Access (Beta) from My Subscription; Practice Better's support team reviews the request.
Create an API key with access restrictions and, where possible, an IP allowlist; the secret is shown once.
Swap the client ID and secret for a short-lived bearer token before each batch of calls.
The problem
Nutrition and wellness practices on Practice Better, and the tools they use, raise these four problems first.
A Zapier workflow stops after a field change, and nobody notices for a week.
The CRM and Practice Better disagree on phone numbers, emails and who is still active.
The lab portal or supplement store you use has no Practice Better integration.
The API is in public beta, and you are not sure what happens when it changes or pricing starts.
Use cases
Four use cases, each shown as the screen your team works in. The people and organizations are fictional; the behavior follows the vendor's published documentation.
Keys get created with full access and shared in chat.
The add-on is requested and approved, the key is restricted to the data you need and your server addresses, and the secret goes straight into a vault.
Staff update the same client in the CRM and in Practice Better.
Client changes move both ways with matching rules, and anything uncertain waits for review instead of creating a duplicate.
Each new tool gets a new Zap, and nobody knows what connects to what.
Each tool is mapped to a built-in integration, Zapier or the API, so the API is used only where it adds something.
A beta change breaks the sync, and staff find out from clients.
Contract tests run nightly against the API and flag a renamed field before it reaches production, with retries for failed calls.
First call
The answers decide the route, the timeline and where these projects usually go wrong. You do not need them all before we talk.
The API add-on is available on paid plans only.
Support reviews the request before keys can be created.
Two-way sync needs matching and conflict rules.
We keep those where they work and use the API only where it adds something.
Keys can be limited to an IP allowlist.
Contract tests catch them before they reach your workflow.
Practice Better says pricing will be introduced with notice.
Someone must own alerts and the review queue.
The short answer
Yes. Practice Better offers a RESTful API to retrieve, update and create data in a Practice Better account. It is in public beta for users on paid plans. You turn it on by adding the API Access (Beta) add-on in My Subscription, and Practice Better's support team reviews the request first. You then create an API key in Settings, with optional IP restrictions and access limits, and exchange the client ID and secret for a short-lived token. Practice Better says the add-on is free during the beta and that pricing will apply afterwards with notice. The full endpoint list is visible in the documentation once the add-on is active.
Practice Better API
From Practice Better's help center article on the API (beta), read in October 2026. The endpoint reference opens only after the add-on is active, so this page lists no endpoints from other sources.
| Step | What happens | Who does it | What to plan for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Add API Access (Beta) | The add-on is requested from My Subscription | The practice owner | Support reviews the request before the add-on is added |
| Create an API key | A key and secret are created in Settings under API Access | The practice owner or admin | Name the key, set access restrictions and an IP allowlist; store the secret, it is shown once |
| Get a token | The client ID and secret are exchanged at the Auth Token endpoint | Your integration | Tokens are short-lived; request a new one when it expires |
| Call the API | Read, update and create account data through REST | Your integration | Use the documentation's exported specification to generate and test requests |
| After the beta | Pricing for the add-on is introduced with notice | Practice Better | Budget for it and watch for contract changes |
Some third-party guides describe Practice Better base URLs and signing schemes that contradict each other. We work only from Practice Better's own documentation once the add-on is active.
What we build
Pick the workstreams you need. Each one ships with a specification, tests and an owner.
Restricted keys stored in a vault, token exchange before each batch, and renewal when a token expires.
Client credentials · short-lived tokens · IP allowlist
Client records kept in step between Practice Better and your CRM or reporting tool, with matching rules before anything is created.
Read · update · create
Intake and program data moved to or from your tools, mapped to the records the documentation exposes.
Mapping confirmed against the API reference
Lab, supplement or scheduling tools connected through the API where Practice Better has no built-in integration for your case.
Custom connector
Laboratory integration →Contract tests that run against the API so a beta change is caught before it breaks your workflow.
Contract tests · alerts
Alerts on failures, retry rules and redacted operational logs.
Alerts · retries · runbook

Practice Better's built-in integrations and Zapier cover simple cases. The API is for what they cannot do.
| Option | Best fit | Strengths | What to plan for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built-in integrations | Tools Practice Better already connects | No build | Limited to what Practice Better offers |
| Zapier | Simple one-way automations | Quick to set up | Limited mapping and error handling |
| Practice Better REST API (beta) | Custom sync and product integrations | Read, update and create through REST | Beta changes, a review step and future add-on pricing |
| Login-based automation | A gap the API does not cover | Works where the API stops | Practice Better's terms, the practice's written authorization and strict controls |
Integration boundaries
We write the split down before the build starts.
Requests the add-on, owns the API key and its restrictions, and approves what data moves.
Owns the API, the beta terms, the review and future pricing.
Owns what it does with Practice Better data.
Token handling, sync, contract tests and alerts. Defects in this layer are ours to fix.
A BAA is available for agreed work involving PHI. We work inside our ISO 27001:2022 certified management system, encrypt data in transit and at rest, keep credentials in a vault and keep raw payloads out of operational logs.
Deliverables
Everything lands in your repository and your runbook.
Add-on request, key creation, restrictions and IP allowlist steps for the practice.
Token handling, API client and mapping, generated from the exported specification.
Tests that flag a beta API change before it reaches production.
Alerts, retry rules and support steps.
Delivery phases
Initial planning estimate: 3 to 6 weeks to a first live sync, subject to the add-on review and the endpoints your workflow needs. We confirm a release plan after the documentation is reviewed.
Week 1
Add-on requested, documentation reviewed, workflow mapped
Weeks 1 to 4
Token flow, sync and contract tests built
Weeks 3 to 5
Data checked with the practice team
Weeks 4 to 6
Live sync, monitoring on, runbook handed over
Cost drivers
Use the scoping call to pin down the workflow, the access you need and what goes into a scoped proposal. These are the factors that move cost.
Each record type adds mapping and tests.
Two-way sync needs matching and conflict rules.
Contract tests and fixes when the API changes.
Practice Better's own add-on pricing after the beta is separate.
Monitoring and on-call support are priced per connection.

Add the API Access (Beta) add-on from My Subscription. Practice Better's support team reviews the request, and once it is approved you can create API keys in Settings under API Access.
Exchange the client ID and client secret from your API key at the Auth Token endpoint for a short-lived bearer token, and request a new token when it expires.
Yes. When creating a key you can add an IP allowlist and set access restrictions. The secret is shown only once, so store it securely.
Practice Better says the add-on has no charge during the public beta and that pricing will be introduced afterwards, with notice to participants.
The endpoint reference opens once the add-on is active, and the specification can be exported for tools such as Postman. We review it with you before scoping, rather than relying on third-party guides.
It is in public beta, so it can change. We add contract tests that flag a change before it breaks your workflow.
Zapier and built-in integrations suit simple one-way automations. The API suits custom sync, two-way data and product integrations with proper error handling.
A BAA is available for agreed work involving PHI, under our ISO 27001:2022 certified management system.
Our initial planning estimate is 3 to 6 weeks to a first live sync, depending on the add-on review and the endpoints your workflow needs.
Cost depends on the records involved, one-way or two-way sync, beta changes and the support level. Practice Better's own add-on pricing after the beta is separate. After a scoping call we send a scoped proposal with the access dependencies listed.
