Introduction
Welcome to the ATCC Genome Portal API Documentation. ATCC provides a secure API for ATCC's Supporting Members, to allow access to the contents of the Genome Portal.
Endpoint Summary:
Name | Endpoint | Method | Description |
Genomes |
| GET | A paginate list of Genomes |
Genome Details |
| GET | A detailed description of the genome and its metadata |
Genome Search |
| POST | A list of all genomes that match search criteria |
Assembly Details |
| GET | A detailed description of the assembly and its metadata. (You'll find the primary assembly ID in Genome Details. |
Assembly Download |
| GET | Provides a temporary link to download the genome's assembly |
Annotations Download |
| GET | Provides a temporary link to download the genome's annotations |
See below for a detailed description of each endpoint and a complete API schema
Authentication
The Genome Portal uses your API key to authenticate requests.
Your API key can be found on the settings page of your One Codex account (https://app.onecodex.com/settings).
On all API requests, set an Authorization header that uses your JWT as a Bearer token. It should look like this:
"X-API-Key: API_KEY"
See below for examples of using these for authentication.
For people with legacy JWT tokens, you'll find those when logged in to the ATCC genome portal, at https://genomes.atcc.org/profile. In place of your X-API-Key: {API_KEY}, you would use Authentication: Bearer {TOKEN}
Endpoints
Genomes
Method: GET
Parameters:
Parameter | Optional/Required | Type |
page | Optional | Integer |
page_size | Optional | Integer |
The /api/genomes endpoint provides a paginated list of all available Genomes with high-level details. It accepts optional query parameters for "page" and "page_size". It returns an array of Genome objects.
Example:
If you have stored your API key as an environment variable named API_KEY:
curl -H "X-API-Key: ${API_KEY}" \
"https://genomes.atcc.org/api/genomes?page=2"
Or if you want to provide your API key in the command, without storing it as a variable:
curl -H "X-API-Key: YOURAPIKEY" \
"https://genomes.atcc.org/api/genomes?page=2"

Genome Search
Method: POST
Parameters:
Parameter | Optional/Required | Type |
product_id | optional | String |
text | optional | String |
The /api/genomes/search endpoint allows for searching/filtering of Genomes in the Genome Portal by either ATCC "product_id" or by "text". Text will search a Genome's catalog_id, Name, and Taxon Name. Parameters must be included in the body of the POST request. The endpoint returns an array of Genome objects.
Example:
curl -H "X-API-Key: {API_KEY}" \
-d '{"text": "coli"}' \
-X POST \
"https://genomes.atcc.org/api/genomes/search"
