It’s not necessary to call this, as the hold will automatically expire on its expiry date. But this way, you can delete it earlier than that.

Creating Your First Axle Visit

Standard Objects

Lists all the [Service Area](/docs/api-overview/glossary/service-area)s that cover a given address, zip code, or [Clinic](/docs/api-overview/glossary/clinic), and return the associated [Service](/docs/api-overview/glossary/service)s and [Service Bundle](/docs/api-overview/glossary/service-bundle)s.

You can use this endpoint to check if a service is bookable at a certain address.

<Info> When creating a visit, remember that you won’t be able to mix and match services between service areas.</Info>


Coverage Lookup

Generates information about a [Potential Visit](/docs/api-overview/glossary/potential-visit) from a [Service Bundle](/docs/api-overview/glossary/service-bundle).

With this information, you will be able to create visits, fetch availability for a potential visit, etc.


Generate potential visit from service bundle

Returns visit time options for rescheduling an existing visit.  See [Availability](/docs/api-overview/glossary/avialability) for more details.


Visit time options for existing visit

Returns visit time options for a [Potential](/docs/api-overview/glossary/potential-visit) Visit. See [Availability](/docs/api-overview/glossary/avialability) for more details.


Visit time options for potential visit

Returns clinician options for the clinician appointments on an existing visit. See [Clinician](/docs/api-overview/glossary/clinician-option) options for more details.


Clinician options for existing visit at existing time

Returns clinician options for a [Potential Visit](/docs/api-overview/glossary/potential-visit) that would be [Eligible](/docs/api-overview/glossary/eligible) to perform the specified certain services at some point in a given date range.

This is useful for the [*Who, then when*](docs/api-overview/glossary/visit) workflow.


Clinician options for potential visit over date range

Returns clinician options for the clinician appointments on a [Potential](/docs/api-overview/glossary/potential-visit) Visit at a specific start time.  See [Clinician](/docs/api-overview/glossary/clinician-option) options for more details.


Clinician Options for Potential Visit at Proposed Time

Creates a visit.

To see an example workflow, read [Creating Your First Axle Visit](docs/api-overview/glossary/visit).

<Info>
By default, this endpoint validates the time and clinicians you have provided. This includes making sure the clinicians are [Eligible](/docs/api-overview/glossary/eligible) to do the visit, [Available](/docs/api-overview/glossary/available) at the chosen time, and that the time falls within the [Service Area](/docs/api-overview/glossary/service-area)’s operating hours, and so on.

If you want to skip this validation, you can use the `skip_everything` parameter to force the creation of the visit anyway. In the future, we may introduce fine-grained control over which validation rules are skipped; for now, we have the `skip_everything` parameter to skip all validation rules.
</Info>


Create Visit

Returns the full details about a [Visit](/docs/api-overview/glossary/visit).

Get Visit

Edits a visit and returns any failed validation rules.

To see example workflows, read [Editing a visit, and assigning the best clinicians](/docs/api-overview/glossary/visit).
<Info>
  We do not support adding or removing patient appointments after a visit has been created.
</Info>

<Info>
We do not support editing the `is_virtual` field of clinician appointments once created.
</Info>
<Info>
This endpoint largely uses PATCH semantics, not PUT semantics, including for deeply nested fields.

So for example, if a visit has multiple clinician appointments, and you want to change the duration of only one, you only have to provide element in the `clinician_appointments_to_edit` array.
</Info>


Edit Visit

Creates a Visit Request.

Visit requests are useful in the situation where we may have some information about 
a visit but not enough to actually instantiate a new visit model. This is where we 
would create a Visit Request instead. 


Create Visit Request

Returns the full details about a Visit Request.

Get Visit Request

Edit a Visit Request.

<Info>
We do not support editing a canceled Visit Request.

<Info>
If you need support for editing more shift block fields than just these, contact [techsupport@axlehealth.com](mailto:techsupport@axlehealth.com).

</Info>


Edit Shift Block

Deletes the shift block identified by its ID, making the clinician available for the time previously occupied by the shift block.

Delete Shift Block

Visit

A **Patient** represents a person with a name, date of birth, and potentially other identifying information. One patient might be associated with many [Visits](/docs/api-overview/glossary/visit).

Patient

 **Clinicians** represent a healthcare professional, such as a nurse practitioner, medical assistant, or doctor renders [Services](/docs/api-overview/glossary/service) for a patient in the context of a visit.

Clinician

 **Patient Appointments** represent a patient’s connection to a visit. This includes details on how to contact the patient for that specific visit and **Patient Confirmation Status** for the chosen visit time. 

Patient Appointment

 **Clinician Appointments** represents clinician slots on a visit to be filled by a clinician.

 **Services** are definitions of procedures a clinician can perform for a patient.

Service

**Service Bundles** represent commonly-used configurations of services and clinician appointments.

Service Bundle

A **Clinic** represents a building or other location where patients are served in a central location.

Clinic

**Service Areas** represent the rules for creating visits in a given [Clinic](/docs/api-overview/glossary/clinic) or set of [Territories](/docs/api-overview/glossary/territories). For example, the rules may specify the **Operating Hours** in which you want to see patients, how much buffer to leave between visits, etc.

Service Area

 **Territories** are named collection of zip codes. They represent a geographical region that can be associated with [Service Areas](/docs/api-overview/glossary/service-area) and [Shift](/docs/api-overview/glossary/shift).

Territory

 Pluralized form of [Territory](/docs/api-overview/glossary/territory).

Territories

 **Shifts** represent a block of time when a [Clinician](/docs/api-overview/glossary/clinician) is available to work and where. The “where” might be [Territories](/docs/api-overview/glossary/territories) that define [Mobile](/docs/api-overview/glossary/mobile) locations they can drive to, territories they can serve virtually, or [Clinic](/docs/api-overview/glossary/clinic)s they can drive to..

Shifts

 **Qualifications** are tags that represent legal or operational requirements clinicians must meet to perform a service. 

Qualification

 A [Patient](/docs/api-overview/glossary/patient)’s Care Team represents to a set of [Clinician](/docs/api-overview/glossary/clinician)s that are primarily responsible for the patient’s care.  

Care Team

Visits can be understood to have a **delivery model** based on the location of the patients and the location of the clinicians when services are being rendered.

Delivery model

 **Mobile** visits are visits that happen at a non-[Clinic](/docs/api-overview/glossary/clinic) address, such as a patient’s home, workplace, or other location where a patient will have services rendered to them. This is in contrast to an [In-clinic](/docs/api-overview/glossary/in-clinic) visit.

Mobile

In-clinic visits are visits that happen at at a [Clinic](/docs/api-overview/glossary/clinic). This is in contrast to a [Mobile](/docs/api-overview/glossary/mobile)visit.

In-clinic

 **Potential Visits** are information about a visit you may potentially create, namely, the service area, visit location, visit duration, clinician appointments, encounters, etc.

Potential Visit

 **Availability** refers to the options for start time options for a visit.
