Store healthcare data with curl and PowerShell

This page shows you how to use the Cloud Healthcare API and curl or PowerShell to complete the following tasks:

  1. Create a Cloud Healthcare API dataset.
  2. Create one of the following data stores inside the dataset:
    • Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) store
    • Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) store
    • Health Level Seven International Version 2 (HL7v2) store
  3. Store and inspect a particular type of medical data in the DICOM, FHIR, or HL7v2 store.

If you're only interested in working with one type of data store, you can skip directly to that section of the quickstart after completing the steps in Before you begin and Create a dataset.

Before you begin

  1. Sign in to your Google Cloud account. If you're new to Google Cloud, create an account to evaluate how our products perform in real-world scenarios. New customers also get $300 in free credits to run, test, and deploy workloads.
  2. Install the Google Cloud CLI.

  3. To initialize the gcloud CLI, run the following command: 

    gcloud init

  4. Create or select a Google Cloud project.

    • Create a Google Cloud project:

      gcloud projects create PROJECT_ID

      Replace PROJECT_ID with a name for the Google Cloud project you are creating.

    • Select the Google Cloud project that you created:

      gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID

      Replace PROJECT_ID with your Google Cloud project name.

  5. Make sure that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

  6. Enable the Cloud Healthcare API: 

    gcloud services enable healthcare.googleapis.com

  7. Grant roles to your user account. Run the following command once for each of the following IAM roles: roles/healthcare.datasetAdmin, roles/healthcare.fhirStoreAdmin, roles/healthcare.dicomStoreAdmin, roles/healthcare.hl7V2StoreAdmin 

    gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding PROJECT_ID --member="USER_IDENTIFIER" --role=ROLE
    • Replace PROJECT_ID with your project ID.

    • Replace USER_IDENTIFIER with the identifier for your user account. For example, user:myemail@example.com.

    • Replace ROLE with each individual role.
    8.
  8. Install the Google Cloud CLI.

  9. To initialize the gcloud CLI, run the following command: 

    gcloud init

  10. Create or select a Google Cloud project.

    • Create a Google Cloud project:

      gcloud projects create PROJECT_ID

      Replace PROJECT_ID with a name for the Google Cloud project you are creating.

    • Select the Google Cloud project that you created:

      gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID

      Replace PROJECT_ID with your Google Cloud project name.

  11. Make sure that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

  12. Enable the Cloud Healthcare API: 

    gcloud services enable healthcare.googleapis.com

  13. Grant roles to your user account. Run the following command once for each of the following IAM roles: roles/healthcare.datasetAdmin, roles/healthcare.fhirStoreAdmin, roles/healthcare.dicomStoreAdmin, roles/healthcare.hl7V2StoreAdmin 

    gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding PROJECT_ID --member="USER_IDENTIFIER" --role=ROLE
    • Replace PROJECT_ID with your project ID.

    • Replace USER_IDENTIFIER with the identifier for your user account. For example, user:myemail@example.com.

    • Replace ROLE with each individual role.
    14.

Create a dataset

Datasets contain data stores, and data stores contain healthcare data. To use the Cloud Healthcare API, you must create at least one dataset.

The following sample shows how to create a dataset named my-dataset in the us-central1 region. You use the dataset throughout this quickstart to create DICOM stores, FHIR stores, and HL7v2 stores.

REST

  1. Create the dataset using the projects.locations.datasets.create method.

    Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

    • PROJECT_ID: the ID of the Google Cloud project that you created or selected in Before you begin

    To send your request, choose one of these options:

    curl

    Execute the following command: 

    curl -X POST \
         -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
         -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
         -d "" \
         "https://healthcare.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/us-central1/datasets?datasetId=my-dataset"

    PowerShell

    Execute the following command: 

    $cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
    $headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

    Invoke-WebRequest `
        -Method POST `
        -Headers $headers `

  2. Get the status of the long-running operation using the projects.locations.datasets.operations.get method.

    Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

    • PROJECT_ID: the ID of your Google Cloud project
    • OPERATION_ID: the ID returned from the long-running operation

    To send your request, choose one of these options:

For more information on working with HL7v2 data, see What's next.

Clean up

To avoid incurring charges to your Google Cloud account for the resources used on this page, delete the Google Cloud project with the resources.

If you created a new project for this quickstart, follow the steps in Delete the project. Otherwise, follow the steps in Delete the dataset.

Optional: Revoke credentials from the gcloud CLI. 

gcloud auth revoke

Delete the project

    Delete a Google Cloud project:

    gcloud projects delete PROJECT_ID

Delete the dataset

If you no longer need the dataset created in this quickstart, you can delete it. Deleting a dataset permanently deletes the dataset and any FHIR, HL7v2, or DICOM stores it contains.

REST

Delete the dataset using the projects.locations.datasets.delete method.

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

  • PROJECT_ID: the ID of the Google Cloud project that you created or selected in Before you begin

To send your request, choose one of these options:

curl

Execute the following command: 

curl -X DELETE \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     "https://healthcare.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/us-central1/datasets/my-dataset"

PowerShell

Execute the following command: 

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method DELETE `
    -Headers $headers `
    -Uri "https://healthcare.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/us-central1/datasets/my-dataset" | Select-Object -Expand Content
