Release Notes for ICD API version 2.4

Compatibility

Version 2.4 is fully compatible with earlier 2.x versions. So your code written for version 2.x does not need to change

Support for International Classifications of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF)

In this 2024 release, ICF is added as a second linearization to the API. All linearization endpoints could be used to get access to the International Classifications of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF). The linearization identifier for ICF is icf

More language support

Portuguese, Czech and Uzbek translations of the classification are available in the API.

Auto-coding functionality

Auto-coding functionality provides the best matching classification entity for a given text. Once could use it with the foundation as well as with linearization.

When used with a linearization, it provides the best matching phrase in the classification together with additional information such as the code of the entity, foundation URI, linearization URI and more information on the quality of the match. Please see OpenAPI documentation for the details.

Enhancement to codeinfo endpoint

codeinfo endpoint now supports providing terminal codes (leaf nodes in the hierarchy) for a given code or code combination string. Some use cases demand using terminal codes and this addition helps this.

DORIS (Underlying cause of death detection)

An updated version of the DORIS system is included in the API.

IMPORTANT: This functionality is in pre-release state. There may be errors in the results and the API parameters and behaviour may change in the next releases
