Ontology API
Biomedical ontologies as an API, powered by the EBI Ontology Lookup Service (OLS). Search across 280+ curated ontologies — diseases (MONDO), human phenotypes (HP), the Gene Ontology (GO), anatomy (UBERON), cell types (CL), chemistry (ChEBI), experimental factors (EFO), the NCI Thesaurus and many more — to find terms by name; browse the full ontology catalogue with versions and term counts; read any term for its definition, exact synonyms, OBO id, IRI and obsolete status; and walk the class hierarchy through a term's direct parents and children. Ideal for clinical-data harmonisation and coding, biomedical search and autocomplete, knowledge-graph enrichment, annotation and curation pipelines, and research and EHR applications that need standard vocabularies. OBO ids look like MONDO:0005148 or GO:0008150.
