BioThings is a family of high-performance biomedical annotation APIs developed at the Scripps Research Institute. The suite provides unified, up-to-date access to gene, variant, and chemical/drug annotations aggregated from dozens of authoritative sources. Three primary services cover the core entities in translational research:
All three share identical query syntax, require no authentication, and return JSON. Free for academic and commercial use.
No authentication or API keys are required. All endpoints are open-access.
# No API key needed — just query directly
curl "https://mygene.info/v3/query?q=BRCA1&size=1"
GET https://mygene.info/v3/query?q={query}&size={n}
Query by gene symbol, name, Entrez ID, Ensembl ID, or keyword. Supports boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) and field-specific queries like symbol:CDK2.
