[ensembl-dev] REST server 3.0 vep endopoint works only with human specie

[Paolo Cozzi]

Dear developer,

I found an odd response from the vep/:species/region/ 
<http://rest.ensembl.org/documentation/info/vep_region_post> of the new 
ensembl REST server ( http://rest.ensembl.org/) while searching for 
species other than human. For example, if I do 2 POST request with curl 
on human and cow (the sample data are the same as in the VEP webserver):

$ curl -H "content-type:application/json" -H "accept:application/json" 
--data '{ "variants" : ["1  909238 909238  G/C  +", "3  361464  361464  
A/-  +", "5  121187650 121188519  DUP"] }' 
http://rest.ensembl.org/vep/human/region > output_human.txt

$ curl -H "content-type:application/json" -H "accept:application/json" 
--data '{ "variants" : ["1  909238 909238  G/C  +", "3  361464  361464  
A/-  +", "5  121187650 121188519  DUP"] }' 
http://rest.ensembl.org/vep/cow/region > output_cow.txt

I will find the same results (diff give me no output), even VEP gives me 
2 different results. Could be a problem of variation endpoint?

Thanks for your support,

best regards,

Paolo.
