# Introduction

> Welcome to the Pharmachain Partner API

## Setting up

The Pharmachain Partner API lets HMO platforms and healthtech products connect
directly to Nigeria's largest verified pharmacy network. Search for medicines
in real time, submit fulfilment requests on behalf of enrollees, and track
every order from submission to delivery — all through a single, clean REST API.

## What you can do with this API

Everything your HMO integration needs — medicine availability, order fulfilment,
real-time tracking, and prescription handling — exposed through clean, predictable endpoints.

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Medicine search" icon="magnifying-glass" href="/api-reference/endpoint/search">
    Query our database of drugs and receive a ranked list of pharmacies that
    have them in stock, along with pricing and proximity to the patient's location.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Request fulfilment" icon="bag-shopping" href="/api-reference/endpoint/create">
    Submit a medicine request for an enrollee. Pharmachain routes the order to
    the closest available verified pharmacy and manages the fulfilment flow end-to-end.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Real-time status tracking" icon="location-dot" href="/api-reference/endpoint/get">
    Poll for live updates on any active request, or receive instant push
    notifications via webhooks whenever a request status changes.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Prescription management" icon="file-medical" href="/api-reference/endpoint/create">
    Attach prescriptions to requests as structured data or file uploads.
    Pharmacies receive them digitally — no faxes, no lost papers.
