OpenPrescribing Information API is one of 4 APIs that [OpenPrescribing](https://apis.io/providers/openprescribing/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Reference Data, BNF, and Organisations. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an API reference.

Reference-data lookups for the prescribing dataset — search BNF sections, chemicals and presentations by name or code; look up NHS organisations (Sub-ICB Location or practice) by code or name; retrieve list size and ASTRO-PU details; and fetch Sub-ICB Location boundaries or approximate practice locations as GeoJSON.
