Reed Group MDGuidelines® API

The new MDGuidelines® API is a RESTful interface that enables users to retrieve disability data through HTTP GET requests. Note that the API requires a secure connection, the HTTPS protocol must be used.

The URL of the API is https://api.mdguidelines.com/

Authentication

The API requires your MDGuidelines® web service license key to be passed in through each request in a custom header attribute named RG-LICENSE-KEY.

Versioning

The full URL of a request must always include the version number of the API, immediately following the “api” portion of the URL.
e.g.: https://api.mdguidelines.com/api/v2/durations
