# Calling the API ### Configure the requests For any request you select from the included examples within the collection you will need to change the Type field within the Authorization tab to "**Inherit auth from parent**". ![](/files/Rf0r0JAa0SOHOJ5Tb735) ### Test your settings At this point you should be able to run any of the requests within the collection - being careful remembering to select "**Inherit auth from parent**" on any request before running it. But there are two provided requests that make this easy. Within the collection you will see a number of folders containing various FHIR resource requests. One request at the bottom is "**metadata Get**". Click on the "**metadata Get**" request, and then click "**SEND**". All going to plan you will receive back the Capability Statement for the Partner API, a key feature of a standards compliant FHIR API. ![](/files/IWVwtRaduVnkZePJK6PV) Next to ensure you have the ability to write to the API expand the Patient folder and select `Patient Create` Click "**SEND**". This performs a **POST** request and sends a single FHIR Patient resource. Going well you will receive a **201 Created** response, and the body of your response will include the resource you just sent. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
