Prayer Times & Islamic Calendar API

Islamic prayer times, the Hijri calendar and the Qibla direction as an API. Get the five daily prayer times — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha, plus sunrise, sunset, Imsak and midnight — for any coordinate and date, calculated with your choice of method (Muslim World League, ISNA, Umm al-Qura, Egyptian, and many more), alongside the matching Hijri date; convert any date between the Gregorian and Hijri (Islamic lunar) calendars in either direction; and get the exact Qibla direction — the compass bearing and great-circle distance from any location to the Kaaba in Mecca.

RxNorm API

US drug terminology as an API, powered by the U.S. National Library of Medicine's RxNav / RxNorm service. Resolve any drug or medication name to its RxNorm concept identifier (RxCUI); read a concept's properties (preferred name, term type, synonym, UMLS id); find all the related drug products for a name grouped by term type (brand names, ingredients, clinical and branded drugs, dose forms); walk related concepts by term type; list the drug classes a medicine belongs to across ATC, VA, mechanism of action, physiologic effect and chemical structure; and run spelling-tolerant search that returns candidate RxCUIs with match scores for misspelled or partial names. The standardised vocabulary that underpins US electronic health records and e-prescribing. Ideal for EHR and pharmacy systems, medication reconciliation, clinical-decision-support and health apps, and drug-data normalisation pipelines. RxCUIs are numeric.

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.
