What it takes to connect it to your AI chat with Hypamoon, with sources." url: https://hypamoon.com/connect-to/open-dental --- 1. [Connect to](https://hypamoon.com/connect-to) 2. Open Dental Healthcare # Connect Open Dental to Hypamoon Possible, with help from Open Dental. The API is documented, but you cannot just create a key: access goes through Open Dental first. Possible ## The check Three questions about the API of Open Dental, answered from its own docs. **Public API docs**\ **Yes.** Public API specification per resource, plus a FHIR API. [Read the docs](https://www.opendental.com/site/apispecification.html) **A key you create yourself**\ **No.** A developer key and customer key are assigned and enabled per office; paid tiers from 15 to 35 dollars a month per location beyond a free read only tier. [opendental.com](https://www.opendental.com/site/apipermissions.html) **Versions or a changelog**\ **Not confirmed.** **How it signs in**\ A developer key plus a customer key per office. **Webhooks**\ **Not confirmed.** **Hosting**\ Self-hosted **Condition**\ Keys are assigned per office and most permissions are paid per location per month, billed to the developer. ## What you can build Read appointments and patients from your dental office into your own reminder or recall flow, starting with the free read only tier. Your chat writes it as a Hypamoon adapter from the docs above. Reading starts after you click Allow in the portal, and every write waits for your approval, one call at a time. [How adapters work](https://hypamoon.com/docs/adapters) ### Good to know - Your adapter uses a fixed key: you paste it once in the Hypamoon portal, never in the chat, and it only goes to the API host you allow. - The API can run locally, as a service, or remotely, depending on the API mode. - Free read only access is throttled to one request every five seconds. Developers should have a Business Associate Agreement with their clients. ## Try it in your chat First get access from Open Dental. Then fill in what to read and write, and send it. Say this in your chat > Build the Hypamoon recipe build-an-adapter for Open Dental. API docs: https://www.opendental.com/site/apispecification.html. Read: \[what\]. Write: \[what, or nothing\].

Ask the chat to check its API. The same three checks work for any software. Your chat reads the vendor's own docs and tells you what it found. Say this in your chat > Check if \[software\] has an open API that a Hypamoon adapter can use: public API docs, a key or token I can create myself without asking the vendor, and versions or a changelog.
