license.medical

US healthcare provider lookup (NPPES NPI Registry). Every US doctor, nurse, dentist, hospital, lab, pharmacy has an NPI — this returns the canonical record. Lookup by 10-digit NPI for a precise match, or by firstName + lastName + state for fuzzy search. Each record includes name + credentials, status, enumeration date, primary + secondary specialty taxonomies (with state license numbers), practice + mailing addresses, phone, and any cross-issuer identifiers (Medicaid, Medicare, etc.). Public-domain CMS data, free. For all three NPI datasets merged (identity + industry payments + Medicare billing) in one call, see /api/health/provider-profile.

Overview

The medical API is a pay-per-call license endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. US healthcare provider lookup (NPPES NPI Registry).

There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in medical data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs license data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.

FAQ

Do I need an API key to use the medical API?
No. license.medical is x402-native — there is no signup and no API key. Your client makes the call, receives a 402 with payment requirements, signs a USDC payment, and retries. Funds come from a wallet you control.
How much does the medical API cost?
$0.0012 USDC per call, charged per request. There are no monthly fees, seats, or minimums — you pay only for the calls you make.
Can I try the medical API for free first?
Yes. Add ?trial=1 (or the header X-2s-Trial: 1) to get a free real call per endpoint per hour, so you can verify the response shape before wiring payment.
Which networks and tokens are supported?
USDC on Base (via EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization) or Solana (SPL transfer), using the open x402 payment protocol.
How do I call license.medical from an AI agent or MCP host?
Use @2sio/sdk (TypeScript), 2sio (Python), or the @2sio/mcp server for any MCP host — each handles the probe → sign → retry loop for you. See the code samples on this page.
