Terminology server

An HL7 FHIR-compliant terminology server is available in the research environment. The terminology server provides programmatic access to reference data for code systems (terminologies, vocabularies, classifications, ontologies) commonly used within the research environment.

Endpoint

An FHIR REST API endpoint can be found at: https://genomics.ontoserver.csiro.au/fhir

Examples

The links below are example requests to the terminology server API. Click on a link to open a new tab showing the API request URL and the API response in JSON format.
