[bioontology-support] BioPortal API semantic_types parameter

[Ben Leinfelder]

Hello,
I’m using the annotator endpoint of the BioPortal API and trying to limit the returned concepts to subclasses of a particular semantic type in our ontology. I’m getting a 404 when I include the “semantic_types” and “expand_semantic_types_hierarchy” parameters (works without them) and wonder what I might be doing wrong. Should the semantic_types parameter be expressed differently?

Thank you for any pointers,
