Staging API

This release includes an early version of the staging API. This is still being beta tested and is not yet available for the general public.

Offsets in searching

The library was updated to work with the latest changes in the the Disease (/rest/disease/:version) and glossary (/rest/glossary/:version) search APIs. If you use the search API you will most likely need to make changes to your code.

• The number of results returned in a single call is now limited by the "count" parameter. If "count" is not specified, 25 results will be returned. Up to 100 results can be returned in a single API call.
• An "offset" parameter was added. This allows results to be "paged" and returned in chunks.
• The "count-only" parameter was removed. This is no longer needed since all search results now include a "total" field which represents the total number of results regardless of "count" and "offset".

SEER*Rx and Surgery

Two additional sets of APIs are supported with this release.

• SEER*Rx APIs (/rest/rx) were added. It represents a lookup for coding oncology drug and regimen treatment categories in cancer registries
• SEER Surgery APIs (/rest/surgery) were added. These APIs allow programmatic access to SEER Site-Specific Surgery Codes. The data comes from Appendix C on the SEER website.
