Clinical Decision Support System

API Security

* All API requests must be made over HTTPS.
* Azure Storage uses TLS 1.2 for public HTTPS endpoints, but TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 are supported for backward compatibility.
* Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is enabled to allow client-side code from web applications to interact with the API. However, ensure that you do not expose your API authorization in client-side code from publicly accessible websites.

HTTP Methods

* The Diagnosis API can be integrated with any HTTP client using popular programming languages and frameworks.
* The API is available at https://diagnosisapi.azurewebsites.net.
* It uses JSON as the only data format. Requests and responses must be encoded in UTF-8.
* The API content is read-only and returns consistent output for the same input.
* The API supports GET and POST methods:
* GET requests retrieve data without requiring any content in the request body.
* POST requests send data in the request body for actions that require it.

TLS Support

* Azure Storage supports TLS 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 protocols.
* The API is hosted on Azure Storage.
