Yes, you can use the Batch API.
-
The Bundle.entry must include a request object pointing at URL
<RESOURCE>/$validatewith methodPOST. -
The Resource that is validated must be wrapped in a Parameters object and added to the
Parameters.parameter.resource
{
"resourceType": "Parameters",
"parameter": [
{
"name": "resource",
"resource": <COPY HERE>
}
]
}
- Embed it at
Bundle.entry.resource, and make a request to the server root.
curl --location --request POST 'https://localhost:9443/fhir-server/api/v4' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic ...' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"resourceType": "Bundle",
"type": "transaction",
"entry": [
{
"fullUrl": "Patient/$validate",
"resource": {
"resourceType": "Parameters",
"parameter": [
{
"name": "resource",
"resource": {
"resourceType": "Patient",
"id": "example",
"name": [
{
"use": "official",
"family": "Chalmers",
"given": [
"Peter",
"James"
]
}
]
}
}
],
"meta": {
"tag": [
{
"system": "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason",
"code": "HTEST",
"display": "test health data"
}
]
}
},
"request": {
"method": "POST",
"url": "Patient/$validate"
}
}
]
}'
- You’ll get a response like this, note the HTTP Status Code is 200 coming back… You have to look at
Bundle.entry.resource.response.issueto check the severity and details to see why the validation is failing.

}
}
]
}
You should add entries for each Resource you want to validate in the Batch.
