GET Request

GET Request Example (Life Sciences)

In this workflow snippet, we will use the REST service provided by MyGene.info [1,2] (https://mygene.info/) to obtain a list of human genes related to specific hormones. Then, we parse the JSON response into a table that is easy to read.

Sometimes, responses come in XML format. We have also included a way to parse XML responses by first converting the JSON response directly to XML.
