NHS Website Content API v1

Use these APIs to pull a range of content from the NHS.UK website as part of our free syndication programme. 

You can choose from a range of APIs including:

• Health A to Z (conditions)

• Medicines A to Z

• Mental health

• Live Well
• Pregnancy
• NHS services
• Video (to be retired in version 2)

These APIs can only be used where there is a legal basis to do so. Make sure you have a valid use case before you go too far with your development. 

You must do this before you can go live (see 'Onboarding' below).

To use the syndicated content, you must:

• register with NHS website developer portal for an account
• agree to the summary of terms

This API is retired and not available for use. Please use version 2 of the NHS Website Content API. 

For more details see our API migration frequently asked questions.

These APIs are a bronze service, meaning they are operational and supported only during business hours (8am to 6pm), Monday to Friday excluding bank holidays.

For more details, see service levels.

These APIs are RESTful. For more details, see Basic REST.

These APIs are available on the internet and, indirectly, on the Health and Social Care Network (HSCN).

For more details see Network access for APIs.

These APIs are application-restricted, meaning we authenticate the calling application but not the end user.

To use these APIs, you must:

• register and login with the NHS website developer portal
• request full subscription to get your subscription key for individual APIs
• include valid subscription key in your subscription-key header

For more details, see getting started.

For endpoint details, see the documentation for individual APIs.
