Hi Genomeo,
The REST server only display the current/latest release.
The release version can be found with this endpoint:
http://beta.rest.ensembl.org/documentation/info/software
To get more details with the Ensembl API, you only need to update the
print_DBEntries method to display all the attributes you are looking for.
Compared to the output from REST, we have the following:
- display_id is $dbe->display_id()
- primary_id is $dbe->primary_id()
- version is $dbe->version()
- description is $dbe->description()
- dbname is $dbe->dbname()
- synonyms is $dbe->get_all_synonyms()
- info_type is $dbe->info_type()
- info_text is $dbe->info_text()
- db_display_name is $dbe->db_display_name()
You can chose what format the REST will output.
Details of all formats can be found in our user guide:
http://beta.rest.ensembl.org/documentation/user_guide
For tab-delimited output, content_type=text/x-gff3 is used, but it is
only available for the /feature endpoint.
There is no file in the Ensembl ftp dumps that contains all the external
references produced.
Regards,
Magali
