[ensembl-dev] Ensembl URL redirections

[Kieron Taylor]

Hi Beat,

Sorry your last email did not get a response. Up to release 93 we have not created subdomains for the current REST API release until just before the following release.

Our web team has reviewed their procedures and starting with e94.rest.ensembl.org coming out in about two weeks, you should be able to get what you ask for. Users of web services should be able to avoid being auto-upgraded if they choose a release-specific URL.*

Thank you for bringing this to our attention,


Kieron
