Nowadays, Parents' Approach to Medical Advice

In the modern era, parents often seek medical information online before reaching out to medical professionals. Many medical websites and apps utilize APIs to provide accessible information.

Understanding Medical APIs

Diagnosis APIs:

* These APIs serve as central databases for various medical data.
* The DDxHub Diagnosis API allows users to enter a condition and receive a list of potential diagnoses.
* Users can also input symptoms to explore possible conditions.

Medicine APIs:

* Provide access to official information on medications and medical equipment.
* Integrate with websites and apps to share data on drug interactions, disease symptoms, and treatment options.

API Functionality

The functionality of medical APIs varies:

* Some APIs authenticate requests via custom HTTP headers, while others accept GET and POST requests.
* POST requests usually require JSON input with a Content-Type header.

Authentication

* The Diagnosis API utilizes a unique AuthenticationID header for authentication.
* To obtain your AuthenticationID, register for a production order.

Setup

* The Diagnosis API is accessible at https://diagnosisapi.azurewebsites.net.
* All responses are in JSON format.
* The API endpoint for medical diagnostics is `/api/DDxItems/`, which accepts POST requests.

Initial Request

* To initiate diagnosis, collect a list of symptoms.
* Enter this information as JSON input in a POST request to the `/api/DDxItems/` endpoint.
