varvis® API Python package
Authors: Markus Konrad markus.konrad@laborberlin.com, Bernt Popp bernt.popp@laborberlin.com
Summary
The varvis-connector package provides a Python client and command-line interface (CLI) for the varvis® API. Retrieve
genomic data including SNV annotations, CNV target results, and CNV segments, process large SNV responses with low
memory use, and download analysis files safely in parallel. The package handles authentication and coordinated session
recovery for concurrent requests, with configurable timeouts, retries, and environment-based configuration.
Features
- Typed Python client and CLI for genomic data retrieval, person records, and virtual panels
- Low-memory SNV iteration with optional temporary-file caching; the CLI uses caching for JSONL streaming so large responses do not need to be held in RAM
- Gene and coordinate filters that support scalar and array-valued SNV annotations
- Parallel HTTPS downloads with connection pooling, configurable retries with randomized delays, and separate download retry settings
- Atomic file downloads that preserve existing files on failure, clean up partial transfers, and reject unsafe filenames and conflicting destination paths
- Thread-safe authentication and coordinated re-login after session invalidation, with bounded shared recovery attempts
- Separate connection and read timeouts, environment-based configuration, and comprehensive error handling
- Memory-efficient CLI JSON serialization, with output files opened only when results are ready to be written
