Questioning Dyna Content POST
The Dyna API POST /v1/content/search/rag endpoint allows you to question DynaMed, DynaMedex or Dynamic Health content. It uses a streaming response so that the answer can begin to be displayed as soon as the response begins. Dyna uses Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to query DynaMed, DynaMedex or Dynamic Health content to create a thorough, "guard railed", and reliable response.
Basic Dyna Search
To Perform a Basic Dyna Search (example):
Gather the following information for the request:
- A query to ask.
- The following headers:
- Authorization: a personalized access token
- x-eis-id-token: an ID token is required to keep a history of the queries
- Connection: keep-alive
- Cache-Control: no-cache
- X-Accel-Buffering-Type: no
A query is used as a first attempt at getting an answer. It might be used when the user has entered terms into a search box. Dyna will take the terms and formulate a question. In the examples that follow, we assume DynaMedex queries and responses. DynaMed and Dynamic Health are similar.
Request
POST 'https://apis.ebsco.com/medsapi-dynamedex/v1/content/search/rag'
Request Body
{
"criteria": {
"query": " what is the cause of hypercalcemia in a 35 year old woman with squamous cell lung cancer, granulomatous TB and abnormal lab values"
}
}
The Dyna search will respond with multiple lines before closing the connection. Each response will minimally look like the following:
data: {
"viewModel":{...}
}\n\n
Prepending "data:" to each response is a technique used in Server-Sent Events (SSE). SSE is a standard that allows servers to push updates to clients over HTTP or HTTPS. The updates are sent as a stream of text data, where each message is separated by a pair of newline characters. This helps in message identification, allows for real time updates, and network error handling. It looks like a string followed by JSON. This format is to make it easier to read in this documentation. In actuality, the response is a string. It will need to be parsed to convert it into JSON format.
Example First Response
Below is an example of a first response to the request above.
data: {
"viewModel": {
"conceptCount": 13,
"supported": true,
"query": "what is the cause of hypercalcemia in a 35 year old woman with squamous cell lung cancer, granulomatous TB and abnormal lab values",
"question": "What is the cause of hypercalcemia in a 35-year-old woman with squamous cell lung cancer, granulomatous TB, and abnormal lab values?",
"answer": "",
"answerFound": false,
"disclaimer": {
"content": "Dyna AI responses are for educational purposes only and should not be solely relied upon for medical practice.",
"moreContent": "The presentation of a response does not imply any specific ranking by importance or probability and a response may not include all possibly relevant material. Interpretation and application are subject to the judgment of a healthcare professional. Dyna AI responses are not intended to serve as recommendations for individual patients.

"followupQuestions": {

"question": "What is the cause of hypercalcemia in a 35-year-old woman with squamous cell lung cancer, granulomatous TB, and abnormal lab values?",
"answerFound": false,
"answerNotFound": true,
"conceptCount": 13
}
}
}
In this first response, note that the answer is empty, answerFound is false and the streamComplete flag is set to false. Your code should inspect each response and expect more responses until the streamComplete flag is true. Several of these may occur while Dyna begins to process the question, with minor differences. For example, the next message might contain all the fields above plus the question that Dyna will use to get the answer. Note that the answer may contain any valid HTML. However, these tags are more likely to occur:
<ul>,<li>,<ol>,<strong>,<b>,<em>,<sub>,<sup>,<a>, and <br>.
<table> may occur in the future.
Example Secondary Responses
data:{
"viewModel":{
"answerStream":"I"
}
}
Secondary responses are generally short messages which enable the calling application to begin displaying the response as it is returned. When output to the user, the responses will contain the complete answer that Dyna has found. The answer stream may contain a complete HTML element, such as <ul>. It is not always a single character.

References
An answer to a Dyna query may contain references which were used to create the answer. The reference section contains the reference details. Among the details would be a refIndex which will tie back to the index in the answer. For example, in the answer:
"<ul><li>Hypercalcemia in a 35-year-old woman with squamous cell lung cancer may be caused by humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, which is a paraneoplastic syndrome due to ectopic production of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) by the tumor. This condition is most commonly associated with squamous cell lung cancer.<sup data-type='references'><span data-ref-id='dcmooctcjh'>1</span>,<span data-ref-id='5ik9krujo5'>2</span></sup></li><li>Granulomatous tuberculosis (TB) can also cause hypercalcemia due to elevated calcitriol levels resulting from excessive production or decreased degradation of calcitriol. This leads to increased intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate, enhanced bone resorption, and hypercalcemia.<sup data-type='references'><span data-ref-id='ir26q00et3'>3</span></sup></li></ul>"
Note the following span:
<span data-ref-id='dcmooctcjh'>1</span>
This span ties the reference to a refIndex of 1.
Dynamic Health Workplace Skills and Notes
When executing a Dyna query against Dynamic Health, the response could contain workplace skills and or workplace notes. Workplace notes appear at the top of an article and provide specific guidance for that subject for the organization. When there is a workplace note, used on top to inform the answer, the workplaceNotes section will appear with a message indicating that it was used in the response.
Likewise for workplace skills, which indicate an organizations specific instructions for a particular procedure. The workplace skills section will appear along with the URL of that skill, the title and the ID. The ID may be used with the custom articles API to get the content.
Follow Up Questions
A user may want to ask additional questions related to the original query. The POST body needs to reflect the original query and question so that it has the full context. The response will have a similar format to what is shown above. Up to 4 additional follow-up questions may be asked. Note that conversation history is saved so that it can later be retrieved via the conversation history endpoints and displayed to the user.
Request Parameters for Follow-up Questions
| Field | Type | Request | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| criteria | Object | true | Parent object to hold the criteria for this request. |
| criteria.query | String | false | The query that the user has entered. The API requires either the query or the question. The question will be used if both are provided. |
| criteria.conversationId | String | false | All the follow on questions in a given session will share the same 'conversationId'. It remains constant throughout the session. For the first request, the 'conservationId' is not required on the first request. Retrieve 'conservationId' from the previous response. |
| criteria.messageId | String | false | Each follow on question will have 'messageId' associated with it. For the first 'follow-on' question request, the id will be 0. |
| criteria.question | String | false | The question that was recommended. The API requires either the query or the question. The question will be used if both are provided. |
| criteria.history | Array | false | Parent object to hold previous questions / answers that the user provided. |
| criteria.history.query | String | false | The previous query that the user executed. Either the query or question field is required. |
| criteria.history.question | String | false | The previous question that the user executed. Either the query or question field is required. |
| criteria.history.response | String | false | The previous response that the user executed. |
Example First Request
The first request and response follows the pattern above. For example, the first request might be:
{
"criteria": {
"query": "what is the cause of hypercalcemia in a 35 year old woman with squamous cell lung cancer, granulomatous TB and abnormal lab values"
}
}
Example Second Request - The Follow Up Query
The second request might be a follow up to "what is the cause of hypercalcemia…". "How is it managed?" This is built using the query, question, answer, conversationId and messageId from the first response.
{
"criteria": {
"query": "How is it managed",
"conversationId": "2026-01-14-baf70a9f-7d0b-4c9c-a96a-3f1d53a9db61",
"messageId": "0",
"history": [
{
"query": "what is the cause of hypercalcemia in a 35 year old woman with squamous cell lung cancer, granulomatous TB and abnormal lab values",
"response": " <ul><li>Hypercalcemia in a 35-year-old woman with squamous cell lung cancer may be caused by ectopic production of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) by the tumor, which is the most common cause of hypercalcemia in squamous cell lung cancer.<sup data-type='references'><span data-ref-id='fgn6imbi00'>1</span></sup></li><li>Granulomatous tuberculosis (TB) can lead to hypercalcemia due to elevated calcitriol levels resulting from excessive production or decreased degradation of calcitriol.

"question": "What is the cause of hypercalcemia in a 35-year-old woman with squamous cell lung cancer, granulomatous TB, and abnormal lab values?"
}
]
}
}
The request now consists of a new query, a conversationId, and messageId which were returned in the previous response. The history consists of the original query made by the caller, the answer and the question that were used - all coming from the previous response.

Example Second Follow Up Request
The follow up question to the first two might be "can I use aspirin to treat copd?". The response will be similar to the response above with the same conversationId, but a new messageId.
{
"criteria": {
"query": "What are the risks involved?",

]
}
}
The subsequent response(s) will follow a similar pattern. Up to 4 follow-on questions can be made. A 422 status code will be returned when you set the messageId to 5 and attempt another question.
Media in Response
When an answer has media, each media resource will contain a secure link. The secure link is to a small resolution for that media that is only valid for 24 hours.
Specifying Image and Video Image Sizes
Links to images and algorithms of varying sizes may be returned in the article response. To specify the image size, add one or more imageSize query parameters to the call. small (thumbnail size) is the default, medium (500w), large (1000w) and full image sizes are supported. For some use cases, non-expiring media links are required. In this case, mediaLinksFormat can be set to "server", which will return a secure link to the image or algorithm in its original size. The link will include the file type. By default, mediaLinksFormat is set to "browser", and does not need to be specified.
For media returning svg files, small, medium and large will be returned as png files. Full can return the svg file unless convertSvg is set to true.
| Parameter Name | Description |
|---|---|
| imageSize | Returns the requested size. |
| mediaLinksFormat | Returns a secure link in its original size. Options are server or browser (default). |
| convertSvg | Return images and algorithms that are originally in svg format as png format. |
Superscripts in a Query
When the user has asked a question, the response may have html within it. The caller can expect any valid HTML in the answer. However, these tags are more likely to occur:
<ul>,<li>,<ol>,<strong>,<b>,<em>,<sub>,<sup>,<a>, and <br>.
An example is below.
{
"criteria": {
"query": "chads 2 vac score"
}
}
The answer would look like this:
"answer":" The CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc score is a clinical prediction tool used to estimate the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. It assigns points based on the presence of certain risk factors:<br><ul><li>Congestive heart failure or left ventricular dysfunction - 1 point</li><li>Hypertension - 1 point</li><li>Age ≥ 75 years - 2 points</li><li>Diabetes mellitus....
