APIs

Application Program Interfaces (APIs) are available to users to retrieve data from several drug information sources, including RxNorm, MED-RT and RxTerms. Currently these APIs are available:

• RxNorm API for retrieving data from the RxNorm data set
• Prescribable RxNorm API for retrieving data from the RxNorm Current Prescribable Content
• RxTerms API for retrieving data for the RxTerms data set
• RxClass API for retrieving drug classes and drug members from a number of different drug class types
• Drug Interaction API for accessing drug-drug interactions

The APIs are also available as part of RxNav-in-a-Box, which provides users with a locally-installable version of RxNav, RxClass, and the APIs.

The API resources can also be used interactively or in batch mode with RxMix.

We invite you to develop computer and mobile applications using National Library of Medicine (NLM) resources. We request that any application that makes use of NLM data include the following statement:
