DNAnexus

DNAnexus operates a cloud-based precision health data platform for genomic and multi-omic research, clinical testing and biopharma R&D. The DNAnexus Platform exposes a documented HTTP API of roughly 206 JSON-over-HTTPS methods at api.dnanexus.com covering projects and data containers, files and other data objects, apps, applets, workflows and analyses, jobs and execution containers, organizations and users, the Omics Data Catalog, and Trusted Research Environments (TREs) with data access requests. Every call is an HTTP POST with a JSON body, authenticated with a bearer token, versioned through an optional DNAnexus-API header, and made idempotent through a documented nonce field on object- and job-creation methods. First-party client libraries ship for Python (dxpy), Java, Scala and C++, alongside the dx command-line client, dxfuse and dxda, and the platform is an OpenID Connect provider for third-party sign-in and for job identity tokens.

DNAnexus publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Genomics, Bioinformatics, Life Sciences, and Healthcare.

DNAnexus’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, developer console, pricing, and 33 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/dnanexus: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
