Find text locations

When you have a text excerpt from PubMed or PubMed Central (the Open Access subset), and if you know the PubMed ID or PMC ID, you can find the location of the excerpt, by simply posting the excerpt to the ‘find_location’ endpoint:

curl -d text="text_excerpt" "https://pubannotation.org/docs/sourcedb/PubMed/sourceid/012345/spans/find_location.json"

or its project-specific version.

curl -d text="text_excerpt" "https://pubannotation.org/projects/project_name/docs/sourcedb/PubMed/sourceid/012345/spans/find_location.json"

If the location is successfuly found, you will receive the URL of the excerpt, with which you can access the excerp with its full context.
