DNAnexus Platform API

The DNAnexus Platform API is a JSON-over-HTTPS API of roughly 206 documented methods. Each method is invoked with an HTTP POST to a route of the form /class-xxxx/method (for example /file-xxxx/describe) or /system/method (for example /system/findDataObjects), with a JSON request body and a JSON response body. Method families cover data containers and projects, data objects (files, records, databases, drives, dbclusters), data-object metadata, apps, applets, workflows, global workflows, jobs, analyses and execution containers, search, organizations, users, OIDC clients, the Omics Data Catalog, and Trusted Research Environments.
