[ensembl-dev] is SQL access available for Ensembl Species List and Table of assemblies?

[Cook, Malcolm]

Dear Ensembl Devs,

I am looking for programmatic way to access in tabular form the data behind these two pages:

	[Species List](https://www.ensembl.org/info/about/species.html)
	[Table of assemblies](https://www.ensembl.org/info/website/archives/assembly.html)

Preferably a SQL query on remotely accessible mysql server.

Additionally, if it were possible to include the name used by UCSC for the assembly, if available.... (perhaps this is the same as asking for NCBI's alternate name)

Thanks for any tips and suggestions.
