README

CakePHP plugin for interacting with the NPPES NPI Registry API.

Intro

This is intended to be a few simple tools to make it easier to query and validate individual providers and organizations on the registry.

The package is mainly a wrapper for converting requests and responses from the API into PHP classes.

The API client is based on version 2.1 as it is the only supported/recommended version at the time of creation.
