DNAnexus

aid: dnanexus
name: DNAnexus
description: 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.

  description: 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.
