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.
