Hi,

can anyone suggest what should be the URL format for a Patient Resource? following I found has the version in it? does the version baseDstu3 mandatory in the URL?

http://hapi.fhir.org/baseDstu3/Patient/1684180/_history/1?_pretty=true

thanks 
Tharma

Hi Tharma, the history part (version) is not mandatory. 

This is fine:
http://hapi.fhir.org/baseDstu3/Patient/1684180

You do need the baseDstu3 part, because that is part of the URL of this server.

Other examples could be 
http://exampleserverpath.org/Patient/1684180
or 
http://exampleserverpath.org/a/b/c/Patient/1684180

Everything before "Patient" is just the server name, which can be anything.

Suggest you read this: http://hl7.org/fhir/http.html

As per Riks comment. I've tended to use url's like http:/xyz.com/.../STU3/Patient/{id}
