Introduction

Welcome to the GIDEON API.

This API is based on RESTful principles and provides access to the world’s premier global infectious diseases database. It consists of two principle content modules, which are updated continually: Infectious Diseases, and Microbiology. The Infectious Diseases module encompasses 350+ infectious diseases, 230+ countries and 700+ anti-infective drugs and vaccines. Microbiology includes 2,000+ microbial taxa (Bacteria, Mycobacteria, Yeasts).

GIDEON’s global data sources include essentially the entire world’s literature and adhere to the standards of Evidence Based Medicine. 22,000+ notes with 3+ million words of text outline the status of specific infections within each country. Also featured are 2,500+ images, 30,000+ graphs, 350+ interactive maps and 230,000+ linked references.

Now with the availability of the GIDEON API, it provides API endpoints to make much of this data available to help researchers and developers access GIDEON data in realtime and build solutions based on GIDEON features and data.
