thomas_sandmann, 4 months ago @gvwilson Perhaps the NCBI dataset API could be useful? You can e.g. enter Entrez gene identifiers and get information about gene identifiers & synonyms: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/docs/v2/reference-docs/rest-api/#get-/gene/id/-gene_ids- The output is well structured, but there are fields of varying lengths for different genes (because they have different numbers of synonyms, database ids, etc).Here is an example query for gene (entrezid) 59067: https://api.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/v2alpha/gene/id/59067?table_fields=gene-id&table_fields=gene-type&table_fields=description Switch out 59067 for another entrez identifier to get more examples. #NCBI #REST #JSON
