[ensembl-dev] Fetching genomic alignments with Ensembl REST API

[Greg Slodkowicz]

Hi Ensembl-dev,
I'm trying to fetch some genomic alignments using the GET
alignment/slice/region/ endpoint from the REST API but my requests are
timing out with HTTP response 504.

This is what my request looks like:
http://beta.rest.ensembl.org/alignment/slice/region/homo_sapiens/1:61330930-61928465:1?species_set_group=mammals
Am I doing something wrong?

I was also wondering what the difference between alignment/slice/region/
and alignment/block/region/:species/:region is?

Best,
Greg
