HGVA is powered by the Open Computational Genomic Analysis (OpenCGA) project. OpenCGA implements an extensive API that enables numerous operations over metadata, samples and genomic data. The whole API specification can be accessed at:
A description on the API and URLs design can be found at the OpenCGA RESTful Web Services documentation.
The tutorial Using RESTful Web Services shows practical examples on how to directly query the RESTful API. It focuses on those end points of the API which are of more interest for HGVA users, giving examples of their use and pin pointing certain peculiarities of the parameters for HGVA. Data is hierarchically organised in Projects and Studies. Please, have a look at Datasets and Studies in order to understand how data is organized: Projects,Studies and Cohorts . For details on the query parameters, please refer to the Swagger documentation linked above.
