GeneBe API Showcase

This page demonstrates how to use the GeneBe API to query variant information. The API provides programmatic access to genomic annotations and variant data.

API presented here should be used for checking single variants. If you want to check many variants at once, please use other API endpoints that you will find in the documentation.
