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 is listed with 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 34 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/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market:
its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted:
not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted.
Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
