Overview

This endpoint provides insights into trending concepts by analyzing usage patterns, search frequency, clinical adoption, and temporal relevance. It helps identify emerging medical concepts, popular terminology, and shifts in clinical focus.

​
Query Parameters

​
time_period
string
default:"7d"
Time period for trend analysis
Options: 1d, 7d, 30d, 90d, 1y, custom
​
start_date
string
Start date for custom time period (ISO 8601 format)
Required when: time_period=custom
​
end_date
string
End date for custom time period (ISO 8601 format)
Required when: time_period=custom
​
trend_type
string
default:"usage"
Type of trending analysis
Options: usage, search_frequency, clinical_adoption, emerging, declining, seasonal
​
vocabulary_ids
string | array
Filter trends to specific vocabularies
String format (CSV): SNOMED, ICD10CM,LOINC, RXNORM
Array format (repeated params): ?vocabulary_ids=ICD10CM&vocabulary_ids=LOINC&vocabulary_ids=RXNORM
Pass multiple values as a comma-separated string or as repeated query parameters; do not use a request body for GET.
​
domains
string
Filter trends to specific domains (comma-separated)
Examples: Condition,Procedure, Drug,Device
​
concept_classes
string
Filter trends to specific concept classes (comma-separated)
​
specialty_focus
string
Focus on specific medical specialties (comma-separated)
Examples: cardiology,oncology, emergency_medicine
​
trend_threshold
number
default:"1.5"
Minimum trend score to include (higher = more trending)
​
include_statistics
boolean
default:"false"
Include detailed usage statistics
Accepted values: true/false (case-insensitive), 1/0, yes/no. Default: false when omitted.
​
include_related_concepts
boolean
default:"false"
Include related trending concepts
Accepted values: true/false (case-insensitive), 1/0, yes/no. Default: false when omitted.
​
include_context
boolean
default:"false"
Include trending context and reasons
Accepted values: true/false (case-insensitive), 1/0, yes/no. Default: false when omitted.
​
sort_by
string
default:"trend_score"
Sort order for results
Options:
  • trend_score: Composite numeric score (0-10) based on usage, growth, and relevance
  • usage_count: Integer count of API requests and searches
  • growth_rate: Percentage change over analysis period
  • clinical_relevance: Mapped from clinical impact levels (low=1, medium=3, high=5, critical=7)

Tie-breaker: When primary sort values are equal, secondary sort is by concept_id ascending. Invalid values: Return 400 Bad Request with allowed values listed.
​
sort_order
string
default:"desc"
Sort direction: asc or desc. Default behavior applies descending sort when omitted.
​
page
integer
default:"1"
Page number for pagination
​
page_size
integer
default:"20"
Number of trending concepts per page (max 100)
Validation: If page_size > 100, the value is clamped to 100. Example: ?page_size=150 returns 100 results.
​
vocab_release
string
Specific vocabulary release version (defaults to latest)
