Formal Definition (as a OperationDefinition).

URL: [base]/Subscription/[id]/$get-ws-binding-token

This is not an idempotent operation

In Parameters:
NameCardinalityTypeBindingProfileDocumentation
ids0..*id

At the Resource level, one or more parameters containing one or more comma-delimited FHIR ids of Subscriptions to get tokens for. In the absense of any specified ids, the server returns tokens for all Subscriptions available to the caller with a channel-type of websocket. At the Instance level, this parameter is ignored.

Out Parameters:
NameCardinalityTypeBindingProfileDocumentation
return1..1Parameters

The returned Parameters MUST include a valueString named "token" and a valueDateTime named "expiration". The returned Parameters MAY include a valueString named "subscriptions" with a comma-delimited list of subscriptions covered by this token.

Note: as this is the only out parameter, it is a resource, and it has the name 'return', the result of this operation is returned directly as a resource
