| Attribute | Type | Allowed Values | Description |
| :- | :- | :- | :- |
| id | integer | | |
| practice\_created | integer | integer, null | The practice that owns this vendor. `null` indicates a global, Elation-managed vendor available to all practices. When creating a vendor via `POST /api/2.0/lab_vendors/`, this field is required and must be set to the authenticated practice ID. |
| name | string | | |
| display\_name | string | | |
| has\_order\_compendium | boolean | the same field as 'has\_test\_compendium' | |
| has\_test\_compendium | boolean | | |
| results\_integration\_available | boolean | | |
| orders\_integration\_available | boolean | | |
| compendiums | List of Compendium Object | | |
| default\_compendium | Compendium Object | Compendium Object, null | |

<Note>
  Practice-scoped lab vendors are created by a single practice for custom or in-house lab workflows. Global vendors (`practice_created: null`) are provisioned by Elation and cannot be created through the API.
