Hi

The REST endpoint 
(https://rest.ensembl.org/documentation/info/variation_consequence_types)

and

the calculated consequences on ( 
https://www.ensembl.org/info/genome/variation/prediction/predicted_data.html) 
should return the same values.

Thank you for for flagging the difference.

The consequence SO:0001060 sequence_variant will be removed from the 
REST endpoint in a future release.
The consequence SO:0001628 intergenic_variant will be used instead.

The three fields (SO_term, label, description) contain different 
information on the consequence type and are used for different purposes.

SO_term  - Sequence Ontology term for the consequence type
label  - A short description of the consequence type used in labels
description - A freetext description of the consequence type

For example:
SO_accession: SO:0001822
SO_term: inframe_deletion
description: An inframe non synonymous variant that deletes bases from 
the coding sequence
label: inframe deletion

Regards
Helen
