Limitations
Due to changes to how Amazon API Gateway processes special characters against REST, FHIR Search no longer supports plain text pipe character (
|) for any GET request URL query string, and therefore must be URL-encoded.When using FHIR search syntax, for example, on a Patient.identifier, the user should specify the search with
%7C:<1upServerEndpoint>/Patient?identifier=<system>%7C<idvalue>Alternatively, FHIR server supports plain text pipe character (
|) conventionally to spec through POST search queries. The following
curlscript, for instance, is valid to use FHIR search syntax on a Patient.identifier, where the system/idvalue pair is instead passed in the request body:curl -X POST -H '<1upServerEndpoint>/Patient/_search' -d 'identifier=<system>|<idvalue>'
Optionally, additional filtering on the same search can be done by chaining conditions in the request body. This
curlscript also searches by when the Patient resource was last changed:curl -X POST -H '<1upServerEndpoint>/Patient/_search' -d 'identifier=<system>|<idvalue>' -d '_lastUpdated=gt2019'
