You are querying for descriptions which have a different SNOMED CT identifier.
Instead use the concepts
endpoint, e.g. - https://browser.ihtsdotools.org/snowstorm/snomed-ct/MAIN/2019-07-31/concepts/365508006
Thank you. How do I know that it is "different" and different from what? I am trying to find children nodes through an API request. What query should I use?
The 'unit of work' in SNOMED CT are concepts, and concepts have at least two descriptions, as well as relationships and attributes. All of these components have identifiers, but the one that you would see in healthcare records would be concept identifiers. I would recommend having a read of the SNOMED CT starter guide - http://snomed.org/starter - for more information on SNOMED CT.
To find all the child nodes, or descendants as they are referred to in SNOMED CT try the following - https://browser.ihtsdotools.org/snowstorm/snomed-ct/MAIN/2019-07-31/concepts/365508006/descendants
I am using the example of python API and plain browser request for several terms, e.g. id: 365508006
with snowstorm however, I am not able to retrieve this term:
https://browser.ihtsdotools.org/snowstorm/snomed-ct/MAIN/2019-07-31/descriptions/365508006
Am I missing something?
