Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) as an API, powered by the U.S. National Library of Medicine's official MeSH RDF service. MeSH is the NLM's authoritative controlled vocabulary used to index the biomedical literature in PubMed — a curated thesaurus of diseases, anatomy, chemicals and drugs, organisms, psychiatry and psychology, analytical and diagnostic techniques, health care and more. Each concept is a "descriptor" with a stable unique id (e.g. D003920), a preferred name, a set of entry terms (synonyms and lay variants), and a list of allowable qualifiers (subheadings such as drug therapy, diagnosis or epidemiology). /v1/search?q=diabetes searches descriptors by their preferred name (match=contains, exact or startswith) and returns each descriptor's id and label. /v1/term?q=heart attack resolves a lay term or synonym to the MeSH descriptor(s) it belongs to, so colloquial language maps onto the controlled vocabulary (heart attack to Myocardial Infarction). /v1/descriptor?id=D003920 returns a descriptor's full record — its preferred name, all entry terms (synonyms), the allowable qualifiers and see-also cross-references, with a link to the MeSH browser. Ideal for biomedical natural-language processing and text mining, tagging and indexing literature, building clinical and research search tools, autocomplete over medical terminology, and mapping free text onto a standard ontology. Data from NLM MeSH (public domain). For drug-specific clinical nomenclature and interactions, see the RxNorm API.
