Java

// Article lookup for external document ID

// Construct the client
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

// Create the URL
HttpUrl url = new HttpUrl.Builder()
    .scheme("https")
    .host("apis.ebsco.com")
    .addPathSegment("medsapi-dynamed")
    .addPathSegment("v1")
    .addPathSegment("publishers")
    .addPathSegment("{publisherId}")
    .addPathSegment("documents")
    .addPathSegment("{documentId}")
    .build();


// Build the request
Request request = new Request.Builder()
    .url(url)
    .get()
    .addHeader("authorization, "Bearer xyz")
    .addHeader("Content-Type, "application/json")
    .addHeader("Accept, "application/json")
    .build();

// Send the request
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();

JavaScript

// Article lookup for external document ID

const host = "https://apis.ebsco.com";
const path = "/medsapi-dynamed/v1/publishers/{publisherId}/documents/{documentId}";

// Create the Request
const url = host + path;
const queryParams = {}

const settings = {
    "async": true,
    "crossDomain": true,
    "url": url,
    "method": "GET",
    "headers": {

        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Accept": "application/json"
    },
    "data": queryParams
};

// Send the Request
$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
});

Ruby

# Article lookup for external document ID

# Form the URL
urlstr = File.join("https://", "apis.ebsco.com", "/medsapi-dynamed/v1/publishers/{publisherId}/documents/{documentId}")
url = URI.parse(urlstr)

# Create the HTTP object
http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

# Create the request
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)
request["authorization"] = "Bearer xyz"
request["Content-Type"] = "application/json"
request["Accept"] = "application/json"


# Send the request
response = http.request(request)

Python

# Article lookup for external document ID

# Form the URL
url = "/medsapi-dynamed/v1/publishers/{publisherId}/documents/{documentId}"

queryParams = {}

# Create Connection Instance
conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("apis.ebsco.com")

# Create the Request Headers
headers = {
        "authorization": "Bearer xyz",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Accept": "application/json"
}

# Send Request
