Assured Platform API — Unofficial Python SDK

An unofficial, modern, async-first Python SDK wrapping the Assured Platform API. This library provides fully typed Pydantic models, automatic semantic pagination, and robust file handling designed to streamline interactions with Assured's complex backend.

Features

• Async First: Built on httpx to support highly concurrent workflows seamlessly.
• Type Safety: Thoroughly documented Pydantic v2 classes represent the massive web of API payloads.
• Auto-Pagination: Helper methods to pull data incrementally or extract directly into pandas.DataFrames.
• Session Bridge: A custom JWT authentication layer to shim missing capabilities for undocumented storage and encryption endpoints.

Setup & Installation

The package manages dependencies using standard Python environments (uv, hatch, or pip). The primary configuration is driven via environment variables.

Prerequisites

Create a .env file in your root directory based on the .env.example:

ASSURED_BASE_URL=https://demo-backend.withassured.com
ASSURED_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
ASSURED_USER[email protected]
ASSURED_PASS=your-password

Note

The API Key handles 95% of requests. However, certain undocumented endpoints like file uploading and SSN encryption require explicit user credentials (ASSURED_USER and ASSURED_PASS) to acquire an internal JWT session token. The client handles fetching and caching this JWT automatically.

Quickstart

import asyncio
from assured import AssuredClient

async def run():
    # Automatically loads configuration from your `.env` file using pydantic-settings
    async with AssuredClient() as client:
        
        # 1. Standard API Key usage: List all providers into a DataFrame
        providers_df = await client.providers.list_df()
        print(providers_df[["full_name", "npi", "email"]])

        # 2. Extract provider details
        detail = await client.credentialing.get_request("some-uuid")
        provider_profile_id = detail.provider_id
        
        # 3. Use undocumented JWT bridging: Upload and associate a document seamlessly!
        # The client recognizes this requires a JWT, fetches one leveraging your User credentials, 
        # posts the multipart payload to S3, and links it into the provider profile.
        contract_bytes = b"..."
        document = await client.provider_profile.upload_and_associate_document(
            provider_id=provider_profile_id,
            file_content=contract_bytes,
            filename="contract.pdf",
            document_name="IHCP Rendering Provider Agreement",
            document_type="Individual Provider Agreement",
        )
        
        # 4. Generate short-lived presigned URLs for assets
        secure_link = await client.files.presign_url(document.document_url)
        print(f"Download the document at: {secure_link}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(run())

Structure & Architecture

The domains mirror Assured's core logical groupings:

• client.users: Managing internal roles.
• client.providers: Listing, fetching context, and inviting user providers.
• client.provider_profile: Encompasses deep profiles ranging from demographics to DEAs to Gap Histories.
• client.credentialing: Operations wrapping verification tasks.
• client.files: Storage abstraction logic.

Known Discrepancies

The Assured API contains numerous behaviors that diverge from documented OpenAPI specs. To see the specific differences this SDK automatically handles under-the-hood (like Encrypted SSNs and S3 Bucket paths), check out the API Divergence Document.
