How does SNOMED CT relate to ICD-10?
SNOMED CT describes clinical meaning. ICD-10 (and ICD-10-CM) describes billing categories. The SNOMED to ICD-10-CM map (maintained by NLM) gives one or more ICD codes per SNOMED concept. We expose those mappings on each concept page and through the cross_references field on the API.

Browsing the directory is free for anyone with a browser. Programmatic access (the /api/v1/reference/snomed-ct/* endpoints) needs an API key. Free tier covers low-volume hobby use; paid tiers cover production traffic.
