Benchling Entry API is one of 203 APIs that [Benchling](https://apis.io/providers/benchling/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Entry. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, authentication docs, rate-limit docs, and a changelog.

An Entry is the core document type in Benchling's Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN), used by scientists to record experimental work and observations. Entries are organized into sections (days) containing various content types such as text, tables, file attachments, and structured data tables for results. Entries support rich collaboration features including authorship tracking, review workflows (see `Review` and `ReviewProcess`), access control through Projects and Folders, and can be linked to Studies. Entries may optionally conform to an `EntrySchema` that defines custom fields. They can be created from scratch or from an `EntryTemplate` to ensure consistent structure. Entry mutation endpoints are currently in closed LA.
