[ensembl-dev] API access to beta.ensembl.org

[Jorge Batista da Rocha]

Hi Simon,

Thank you for the question! No, it is not possible to access those data using the Perl API. Data from Ensembl Beta is available via GraphQL https://beta.ensembl.org/help/articles/using-graph-ql, which is currently available as a beta service. We'd advise caution in use as we cannot guarantee that breaking changes will be introduced as it develops. 

Thanks and regards  
Jorge

Is there any way to access the underlying data for these pre-release genomes in the API?  Is the beta.ensembl.org <http://beta.ensembl.org/> even built off the same underlying API or is there a new version in the works?
