Get Started
The GDC Application Programming Interface (API) is the external facing Representational State Transfer (REST) interface that drives the GDC Data Portal and is made accessible to external users for programmatic access to the same functionality found through the GDC Data Portal. This includes searching for and downloading subsets of data files, metadata, and annotations based on specific parameters, BAM Slicing endpoints as well as submission of new projects and associated data to the GDC.
Please visit the GDC API to access the REST interface and the GDC API Usage Guide for instructions and code examples for using the GDC API.
