About this skill
OpenEvidence Install & Auth
Overview
Set up OpenEvidence Medical AI API for clinical decision support and evidence-based queries.
Prerequisites
- OpenEvidence account and API access
- API key/credentials from OpenEvidence dashboard
- Node.js 18+ or Python 3.8+
Instructions
Step 1: Install SDK
npm install @openevidence/sdk
# API key from OpenEvidence developer portal
Step 2: Configure Authentication
export OPENEVIDENCE_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
echo 'OPENEVIDENCE_API_KEY=your-api-key' >> .env
Step 3: Verify Connection (TypeScript)
import { OpenEvidenceClient } from '@openevidence/sdk';
const client = new OpenEvidenceClient({
apiKey: process.env.OPENEVIDENCE_API_KEY,
organization: process.env.OPENEVIDENCE_ORG_ID
});
const result = await client.query({ question: 'What are first-line treatments for Type 2 diabetes?' });
console.log(`Answer: ${result.answer.substring(0, 100)}...`);
console.log(`Citations: ${result.citations.length} references`);
Step 4: Verify Connection (Python)
import openevidence
client = openevidence.Client(api_key=os.environ['OPENEVIDENCE_API_KEY'])
result = client.query(question='What are first-line treatments for Type 2 diabetes?')
print(f'Answer: {result.answer[:100]}...')
print(f'Citations: {len(result.citations)} references')
Error Handling
| Error | Code | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Invalid API key | 401 | Verify credentials in dashboard |
| Permission denied | 403 | Check API scopes/permissions |
| Rate limited | 429 | Implement backoff |

Next Steps
After auth, proceed to openevidence-hello-world.
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Invalid API key results in a 401 error
- →Permission denied results in a 403 error
- →Rate limiting may occur with too many requests
How it compares
This skill simplify the initial setup and authentication for the OpenEvidence API, providing direct code examples for immediate verification, unlike generic API documentation.
