Your platform API key (haau3_sk_…), sent as Authorization: Bearer <key>.

Query Parameters

url
string
default:http://loinc.org?fhir_vs

Canonical URL of the value set to expand. Defaults to the implicit all-LOINC value set (http://loinc.org?fhir_vs), which is every LOINC code. That expansion is large and comes back truncated: read expansion.total against the number of entries returned, and expand a group or answer list instead when you need it whole.

Minimum string length: 1
filter
string

Text filter to narrow the expansion to matching concepts. Applies to value sets this service hosts. For a value set resolved from its own source, narrowing is refused with a 400 naming this parameter, because that source answers a whole expansion or nothing: expand it whole and filter the result.

Minimum string length: 1
count
integer

Maximum number of concepts to return (0 returns the total only). Applies to value sets this service hosts. For a value set resolved from its own source, narrowing is refused with a 400 naming this parameter, because that source answers a whole expansion or nothing: expand it whole and filter the result.

Required range: 0 <= x <= 1000
offset
integer

Number of concepts to skip for pagination. Applies to value sets this service hosts. For a value set resolved from its own source, narrowing is refused with a 400 naming this parameter, because that source answers a whole expansion or nothing: expand it whole and filter the result.

Required range: 0 <= x <= 9007199254740991
