As both a developer and someone who takes medicine, I'd just like to say: NO
I shred my Prescription labels, and now they're basically going to be opened up to the world for some stupid developer to expose because he/she didn't think it through?
Apple's location data was secure until 3rd party apps leaked it. No thanks. The convenience is not worth the loss in security/privacy
If it's implemented correctly. How many top tech companies implement their API's perfectly the first, second, or even hundredth time around? Walgreens isn't a tech company.
As the patient, the person who's information is being stored, I should have the ONLY say so over what happens to that information EVER, and if they don't get that, I have no problem taking my business elsewhere, which it looks like I'll have to do.
To clarify, our Rx Refill API is "inbound" in nature only. If the patient initiates a refill, one can be completed. This is not an API around "outbound" information from Walgreens systems. Hope that helps to clarify.

Read the docs.
All they give out is the store location/pickup time for an RX# request, no identification info, no medication info.
