    .host("apis.ebsco.com")
    .addPathSegment("/medsapi-dynamic-health/v2/content/articles")
    .addPathSegment("/{id}")
    .addQueryParameter("secure", "true")
    .addQueryParameter("imageSize", "small")
    .addQueryParameter("imageSize", "full")

    .build();


// Build the request
Request request = new Request.Builder()
    .url(url)
    .get()
    .addHeader("Accept", "application/json")
    .addHeader("Authorization", "Bearer TOKEN")
    .addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")

JavaScript

// Get Article by Id: 

const host = "https://apis.ebsco.com";
const path = "/medsapi-dynamed/v2/content/articles/{id}?secure=true&imageSize=small&imageSize=full";

// Create the Request
const url = host + path;

const settings = {
    async: true,
    crossDomain: true,
    url: url,
    method: "GET",
    headers: {
        Accept: "application/json",
        Authorization: "Bearer TOKEN",

$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
});

Ruby

# Get Article by Id:

# Form the URL 
urlstr = File.join('https://', 'apis.ebsco.com', 'medsapi-dynamed/v2/content/articles', id)
uri = URI.parse(urlstr)
params = { secure => "true", posterSize => "small"}


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

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

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

Python

# Get Article by Id:

# Form the URL
url = "".join(["/medsapi-dynamed/v2","/content/articles/", id])

queryParams = {
   'secure': 'true',
   'imageSize': ['small', 'large']
}

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

# Create the Request Headers
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer TOKEN",
    "Accept": "application/json",
    "Cache-Control": "no-cache"
    }

# Send Request  
conn.request("GET", url, queryParams, headers)
