API

The Dependency Map at Sanger API provides access cell model information and associated datasets.

Introduction

The API for the cell model passports is a HTTP REST-API that returns information based on the URL of GET requests. It strictly follows the JSONAPI v1.0 standards to allow consistent, predictable and discoverable access to all available resources. Therefore, all responses will be in JSON-format and will carry the 'application/vnd.api+json' Content-Type header.

The base-url for the API is https://api.cellmodelpassports.sanger.ac.uk

Endpoints

The base-url needs to be supplemented with a suffix (path) to the resource. The base url and path together form the endpoint. All API endpoints are listed here.

Please note that the root url ("/") is not a valid endpoint and will thus result in a 404 (Not Found) error.

Modifiers

There are query parameters that can be appended to any of the endpoint URLs to modify the response. These modifiers apply mainly to list endpoints, and allow control of sorting, filtering, pagination, specifying which fields to return and the inclusion of related resources.

All modifiers can be combined in a single query to request exactly the desired data

Usage
