🔥 FHIR API: Information here, and FHIR IG here.
Interoperability Layers
OpenHIM: Demo video of OpenMRS integration using OpenHIM here, sample architecture here, and comparison to Apache Kafka here
Ozone Platform: Ozone’s interoperability layer. Data is directly pulled from a source OpenMRS MySQL database and wired onto camel routes in an effort to integrate OpenMRS with other systems without any use of the OpenMRS Java API or data model. More info here.

PowerBI
Several implementers use SQL scripts to ETL from OpenMRS to a SQL Server where Power BI then consumes the transformed data (eg PIH, EGPAF). For more information consider posting to the OpenMRS Forum at http://talk.openmrs.org
Other Data Extraction Tools
Open Health Stack: The Analytics Pipeline of Open Health Stack is specifically called fhir-data-pipes. Known Community Member Integrations: Being used for Cote d’Ivoire OpenMRS analytics capture by ITECH.
MambaETL: UCSF module for OpenMRS Data Flattening. Details here.
