Evidence-backed facts

  1. The CMS Data API exposes an open-data catalog and dataset-specific REST endpoints with JSON and JSON:API responses for public CMS datasets and resources. informative
  2. Dataset retrieval starts from the dataset unique identifier and uses dataset-specific fields rather than assuming a shared schema across the catalog. informative
  3. Clients must bind filters, page size, and offset; one response can contain at most the documented 5,000 rows and is not a complete large dataset. informative
  4. CMS public data can be aggregate, provider-reported, revised, suppressed, or program-specific and is not clinical advice or proof of payment, eligibility, or provider quality. informative
