Get Binary by ID

Represents the raw data of a single item as digital content. A Binary resource can contain any type of content, such as text, image, PDF, or ZIP archive. Typically, Binary resources are used for managing content like:

• CDA Documents
• PDF Documents
• Images

Note:

• Retrieval of a Binary resource follows the FHIR asynchronous request pattern.
• DocumentReference and DiagnosticReport resources enable the inclusion of binary content either as an attachment or by referencing it through a Binary resource.To retrieve a Binary resource, the client must request it in the context of its parent resource—either a DocumentReference or DiagnosticReport.The required OAuth 2.0 scopes must authorize access to the parent resource (e.g., DocumentReference.read or DiagnosticReport.read), rather than to the Binary resource directly.
