JavaScript

// GET a list of articles and metadata that have been updated

// Create the Request
const url = host + path;
const queryParams = {"updatedSince": "2022-01-01", "updatedBefore": "2023-05-01", "page": "2"}

const settings = {

    console.log(response);
});

Ruby

# GET a list of articles and metadata that have been updated

# Form the URL
urlstr = File.join("https://", "apis.ebsco.com", "/medsapi-dynamed/v2/contentarticles")
url = URI.parse(urlstr)
params = { :updatedSince => "2022-01-01",:updatedBefore => "2023-05-01",:page => "2" }

# Add params to URI
uri.query = URI.encode_www_form( params )

# 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["Content-Type"] = "application/json"
request["Accept"] = "application/json"
request["Authorization"] = "Bearer TOKEN"


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

Python

# GET a list of articles and metadata that have been updated

queryParams = {
    "updatedSince": "2022-01-01"
    "updatedBefore": "2023-05-01"
    "page": "2"}

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

# Create the Request Headers
headers = {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Accept": "application/json",
        "Authorization": "Bearer TOKEN"
