Reference Data

Several API endpoints require Zocdoc-specific IDs for specialties, visit reasons, and insurance plans. Use the reference data endpoints to retrieve these values programmatically.

In the sandbox environment, reference data is pre-populated with sample records.

Specialties

Use the Get Specialties endpoint to retrieve the list of specialties and their Zocdoc IDs. You can optionally filter by care category. To look up a single specialty, use Get Specialty by ID.

Visit Reasons

Use the Get Visit Reasons endpoint to retrieve visit reasons and their Zocdoc IDs. You can optionally filter by specialty_id. To look up a single visit reason, use Get Visit Reason by ID.

Insurance Plans

Use the Get Insurance Plans endpoint to retrieve available insurance plans. To look up a single plan, use Get Insurance Plan by ID.
