Get started and begin to understand the endpoint by following the examples below in the language of your choice.

# Search Dynamic Health:

curl -X POST "https://apis.ebsco.com/medsapi-dynamic-health/content/search" -H "accept: application/json" 
-H "Authorization: Bearer " -H "x-forwarded-host: www.dynahealth.com" -H "Content-Type: application/json" 
-d "{ \"query\": \"heart attack\", \"pageSize\": 1, 
\"fields\": [ \"title\" ]}"

// Search Dynamic Health:

// Construct the client
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

// Create the URL
HttpUrl url = new HttpUrl.Builder()
    .scheme("https")

    .addPathSegment("content")
    .addPathSegment("search")
    .build();

// Build the body   
MediaType mediaType = MediaType.parse("application/json");
RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(mediaType, "{ \"query\": \"heart attack\", \"pageSize\": \"1\", \"fields\": [ \"title\" ]}");  

// Build the request
Request request = new Request.Builder()
    .url(url)
    .post(body)
    .addHeader("Accept", "application/json")
    .addHeader("Authorization", "Bearer TOKEN")
    .addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
    .build();
