ensembl-rest-client 0.1.4a0

Python access to the Ensembl REST API

Getting Started with enembl-rest-client

version: 0.1.4a0

enembl-rest-client provides Pythonic access to the Ensembl REST services. I build this for some of my other projects to use as there was not anything implemented at the time. It implemented most the current endpoints at http://rest.ensembl.org at the time but I have not checked all the current endpoints.

Note that not all the implemented endpoint methods have been tested properly. They are being tested as they are used and having a pytest test written for them.

Now there are other ensembl rest implementations. You may be better using these:

• https://pypi.org/project/pyEnsemblRest/
• https://pypi.org/project/ensembl-rest/

There is online documentation for ensembl-rest-client.
