The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is pleased to announce the release of the UMLS REST API: Paging Through Results tutorial.

In this tutorial you will learn how to make calls against the UTS REST API/search endpoint, retrieve all pages, and identify the last page by iterating through pages. You will also learn strategies for coding API requests to assure proper retrieval of all search data. Examples use the Google Postman API testing application.

This tutorial and many other tutorials are available from the UMLS Learning Resources page and the NLM Learning Resources Database.
