Dante Labs genome data Api API

Gene, variant and trait pages and the genome search as JSON: the facts each page shows, every link an absolute `url`. Public and read-only, with no key; any origin may read it.

Operations 4

GET /genes/search.json Genes and variants by any name, or a genomic position #
GET /genes/{gene}.json A gene, its reports, traits and variants #
GET /genes/{gene}/variants/{variant}.json A variant, its classifications and the reports that read it #
GET /traits/{trait}.json An HPO trait and the genes linked to it #

Work with this as data

Every API here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP.
