Overview
Lexigram is a clinical NLP API that reads medical text and identifies clinical concepts like diagnoses, medications, and procedures using standardized ontologies. It maps extracted terms to codes from systems like ICD-10 and SNOMED CT, making it useful for healthcare data pipelines. You need an API key to use it.
Beginner Tip
Send clinical notes or discharge summaries to the /annotate endpoint to instantly extract structured medical entities without writing complex parsing logic yourself.

Implementation Example
Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://api.lexigram.io/v1/lexigraph/annotate";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
