Dear Alejandro,

we describe VEP’s json output format here: https://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/tools/vep/vep_formats.html#json <https://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/tools/vep/vep_formats.html#json> I hope the description is detailed enough to help you with the tool integration. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Kind regards,
Anja Thormann
