Hi Korkmatik,
Thanks for the update code, this works for me now!!

Running a docker HAPI FHIR container
When I tried the code, it lists all JSON files followed by a 404 error.
Restart the container and find only entries for “Location” and “Organization”
Any suggestions as to why the 404 errors.

Hi,
was anything loaded into the FHIR-Server?
Is there a / missing in your url to the server? I think it should be http://localhost:8080/fhir/. That's what the code is using as default. You could also try leaving out the argument.
Cheers

Hi
Many thanks for taking the time to reply.
-The –url argument is defined as “http://localhost:8080/fhir/ “ (if a copy this URL to the browser, I get the Swagger UI) so it is correct and running
-The Synthea output is correct because it is reading the correct files before the 404 error. It does create
Locations and Organization but should create more resources that that (including Patients)
Rebuild the docker image and rerun script
First time
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'H:/FHIRE/synthea/output/fhirhospitalInformation1683749514854.json'
Runnit again
hospitalInformation1683749514854.json
200
practitionerInformation1683749514854.json
400
Adam_Hirthe_1b039e27-16f0-85f6-fea3-83f94a66a397.json
404
Adan_Kshlerin_703f7f12-396b-fd3d-11b4-62607351522e.json
404
..etc

was this ever fixed, getting same error where it just creates “Location” and “Organization”
