SolveBio

SolveBio is a platform for biomedical and genomic datasets that lets developers query, harmonize, and automate bioinformatics workflows over curated reference data through a REST API and first-party client libraries (Python, JavaScript, Ruby, and R). SolveBio has been rebranded to QuartzBio, a Precision for Medicine company: the solvebio.com website now redirects to quartz.bio, the legacy API is served as the QuartzBio EDP REST API on per-customer instance hosts, and the SolveBio SDKs are being deprecated in favor of the quartzbio packages (Python client end of maintenance 2026-03-31). Surfaced as a portfolio company of a16z and enriched from its public GitHub organization and package registries.

SolveBio publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Genomics, Bioinformatics, Life Sciences, and Precision Medicine.

SolveBio’s developer surface includes CLI, authentication, and 8 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.
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/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/solvebio: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
