If you are looking for Human API as a developer API you can sign up for and price online, the first thing to know is what it has become. As we read the pages on October 17, 2026, humanapi.co redirects to a LexisNexis product page, and neither that page nor the LexisNexis Human API page shows a price or a self-serve sign-up. The alternatives below are the vendors with public developer pages, grouped by the data you were using Human API for. Everything is from their own pages as of that date.
What Human API is now#
Two LexisNexis products carry the name:
- LexisNexis Health Intelligence, where humanapi.co now lands, is for life insurers: "Fast-track underwriting decisions with the EHR for life insurance platform built for adoption at scale". The page calls it "Health Intelligence, formerly Human API Health Intelligence", and says that when an EHR is not available, "Our solution automatically fulfills the request for an APS through our affiliate, Human API, Inc."
- LexisNexis Human API is pitched to healthcare and life science organizations. Its page says "LexisNexis® Human API™ combines a vast consumer-permission health data network" with "a vast data network of over 30,000 data connections including medical records, labs, fitness wearables and apps", aimed at uses such as clinical research: "Clinical trial sites can conduct more efficient patient screening to improve site confidence in referrals". The call to action is "Contact Us For More Information".
Human API's developer reference describes a "Health Intelligence Platform" that "converts data into actionable intelligence to accelerate underwriting and create better customer and distribution experiences." If you are an insurer or a research sponsor, that may be exactly what you need. If you built a consumer or digital health product on Human API, read on.
Pick by the data you need#
Wearable and fitness-app data#
This is the most crowded part of the market, and most vendors now publish an entry price:
- Terra says "One API call returns standardised data from 500+ providers" and starts at $399 a month billed annually, with credits per connected data source.
- Junction (formerly Vital) has a Launch plan for "a flat $300 a month" covering up to 500 connected users.
- Rook prices by active users, from Core at $399 a month for up to 750.
- Spike connects "500+ wearables & IoT sensors"; its Sandbox "Starts from $450 /month".
- Thryve starts at 499 euros a month for 500 users, and "All data processed and stored by Thryve is hosted in Germany".
- Sahha is phone-first ("turns the smartphone itself into a passive sensor for sleep, activity, and behavior"), from $299 a month billed annually.
- Validic, now owned by ChartSpan, "normalizes 700+ devices into a single standard" and has a free Inform Developer plan for 5 users.
- Open Wearables is MIT-licensed software you host yourself, "Free forever" for the open-source core.
Our health-data aggregator comparison covers coverage, credentials and delivery for each, and aggregator pricing runs the same user counts through their price sheets.
Medical records#
Fewer options have public pages, and the legal basis matters:
- Metriport offers "Healthcare data infrastructure for next generation care delivery", with "750K+ providers across every network that matters — one integration, not dozens", records "Extracted, normalized, deduplicated, and enriched into consistent FHIR", and a codebase "Distributed under the AGPLv3 License". Its README says it "is HITRUST r2 certified, SOC 2 Type 2 certified, and HIPAA compliant." The catch for a consumer product: "Access to our Medical API will require you to make requests on behalf of a covered entity with an NPI number for a valid Treatment purpose of use." Human API's network is described as consumer-permission; Metriport's access is for treatment by a covered entity.
- Spike says it delivers "normalized, ingestion-ready data from wearables, EMRs, lab tests, IoT devices, and more", and to "Connect to top providers and access clinical data". Its pages do not itemize EMR pricing.
- Rook sends data the other way today: its EHR/EMR API "delivers each user's health data as FHIR R4, with LOINC codes and UCUM units, ready to integrate into clinical systems", while "Bringing data from EHRs, EMRs, patient portals, and health networks into ROOK is coming soon."
- Validic runs "Managed remote care programs that write directly to Epic, Cerner, and other EHRs."
Lab results#
- Order tests: Junction can "build your own lab testing experience spanning all 50 states", with "Lab testing is part of Enterprise"; Terra can "Order blood and DNA tests for your users through Terra API", in the US and the UK.
- Read reports users already have: Rook's Lab Data API "turns PDF and image lab reports into structured biomarkers with LOINC codes and FHIR R4 output", and Spike's Lab Reports API "processes lab reports from PDFs, JPEGs, or PNG files up to 10MB".

Migrating off Human API#
Plan for three things. Every user re-consents through the new vendor's connect flow, because their authorizations were granted to Human API. Records data may change legal basis, from a consumer-permission network to treatment access through a covered entity, which is a question for your counsel rather than your engineers. And every vendor normalizes into its own schema, so budget for re-mapping fields.
What we could not verify#
- Developer access to LexisNexis Human API. Its page lists "fitness wearables and apps" in its network but shows no developer sign-up or price; ask LexisNexis whether a non-insurance, non-research product can buy it.
- Prices behind a sales call: Human API, Metriport, Spike past its Sandbox start, and every vendor's Enterprise plan.
Prices, plans and products above are from October 17, 2026 and change often; re-check each vendor's live pages before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
- What happened to Human API?
- It now sits under LexisNexis. As of October 17, 2026, humanapi.co redirects to LexisNexis Health Intelligence, which the page calls formerly Human API Health Intelligence, an EHR platform for life insurance underwriting, and that page refers to Human API, Inc. as an affiliate. LexisNexis also sells LexisNexis Human API, a consumer-permission health data network, to healthcare and life science organizations. Neither page shows a price or a self-serve sign-up.
- What is the best Human API alternative for wearable data?
- It depends on your billing unit, hosting and sources. As of October 17, 2026, Junction's Launch plan is a flat $300 a month for up to 500 connected users, Sahha's Starter is $299 a month billed annually for 1,000 users, Terra and Rook start at $399 a month, Spike from $450, and Thryve from 499 euros with hosting in Germany. Validic has a free developer plan and Open Wearables is free software you host. Compare them at your own user count.
- Can a consumer health app use Metriport instead of Human API for medical records?
- Not on its own. Metriport's docs say access to its Medical API requires making requests on behalf of a covered entity with an NPI number for a valid treatment purpose of use, and production access starts with an intro call. Human API's network is described as consumer-permission. If you are not a covered entity, you would need one as a partner, and that is a question for counsel. This reflects the pages we read on October 17, 2026.
- Which Human API alternatives handle lab results?
- As of October 17, 2026, Junction orders lab tests across all 50 US states on its Enterprise plan and Terra orders blood and DNA tests in the US and the UK. To read reports users already have, Rook's Lab Data API turns PDF and image lab reports into LOINC-coded biomarkers with FHIR R4 output, and Spike's Lab Reports API reads PDFs, JPEGs and PNGs up to 10MB.
- What should I plan for when migrating off Human API?
- Three things: every user re-consents through the new vendor's connect flow, because their authorizations were granted to Human API; medical-record access may move from a consumer-permission basis to treatment access through a covered entity, which needs legal review; and each vendor normalizes into its own schema, so fields need re-mapping. Budget for the re-consent campaign as much as for the code.
