GET
Get SNOMED ID (Deprecated)
This endpoint is deprecated. It remains operational for existing integrations but is no longer recommended for new work.Use the Link Entity endpoint instead — part of the Medical Entity Codification API. It covers SNOMED CT (plus LOINC, medication and ICD-10-CM) with a richer result model — confidence scores, is_linked, semantic tags, multilingual term matches, and batched lookups via Link Entity (Batch).
