This standard web service (API) accepts both GET and POST requests. In addition to laboratory test results, it also requires a list of observed symptoms.

Each request requires an "AuthenticationID" header. For demo purposes, use "DEMO_AuthenticationID". All responses, including error messages, are in JSON format.

POST Requests

POST requests must provide JSON input and include the "Content-Type: application/json" header.

API Setup

The Diagnosis API is available at https://diagnosisapi.azurewebsites.net. Your unique "AuthenticationID" will be provided after completing production order registration.
