TCIA currently offers the following RESTful interfaces to the search and download functions enabled by the National Biomedical Imaging Archive (NBIA) software in the TCIA radiology portal.
- Originally
[DEPRECATED 6-22-2022] - The TCIA REST API originally developed using Project Bindaas with Emory University,
these APIs provide access to public collections and do not require authentication or API keys to use them. The TCIA REST API Guide describes these APIs.has been deprecated in favor of the NBIA REST APIs. While the NBIA REST APIs have the same functionality as the Bindaas based TCIA REST APIs, there are some differences that should be noted and tested during conversion from the TCIA REST API to the NBIA REST API. Please see the Conversion Guide for details. The existing Bindaas based TCIA REST APIs will remain active but will receive no updates or maintenance going forward.
- NBIA REST APIs: Provided as part of the NBIA software, these APIs provide access to the search and download functions used in the TCIA radiology portal, and allow access to both public and limited access collections. The NBIA Search REST APIs allow you to perform basic queries and download data for image analysis on public collections. The NBIA Search with Authentication REST APIs allow you to perform basic queries on and download data for image analysis from public and restricted collections. The NBIA Advanced REST APIs also allow access to public and restricted collections, but are geared towards developers seeking to integrate searching and downloading TCIA data into their own web and desktop applications.
