FHIR & LOINC license

Hi,
Is there an option to programmatically access and download the current LOINC license text?
The intention is to automate LIVD file production.
thanks
Xavier

Hello @xaviergansel, happy new year.

The full license text (as available via Knowledge Base – LOINC) is not easily available via an API. However, the pertinent bit you need to use (from §10.1 of license) is available from our terminology service using this request:

https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/loinc

  "copyright": "This material contains content from LOINC (http://loinc.org).

Let us know whether or not this answers your question.
