FAQPage Schema
How do I retrieve sequencing orders and plasmid sequences from the Plasmidsaurus API?

You can retrieve sequencing orders and plasmid sequences by running the Python CLI script, which queries the Plasmidsaurus API to list orders, check statuses, and download results. It requires setting specific environment variables for authentication.

What environment variables do I need to download Plasmidsaurus sequencing data?

To download Plasmidsaurus sequencing data, you must set the PLASMIDSAURUS_CLIENT_ID and PLASMIDSAURUS_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables in your shell. The Python script reads these credentials to authenticate API requests.

Can I filter sequencing orders and export results as JSON from Plasmidsaurus?

Yes, you can filter sequencing orders and export results as JSON. The script supports filtering for order listing and outputs data in JSON format, enabling streamlined integration for order management and sequence retrieval workflows.

What's the best way to automate fetching sequencing reads for offline analysis?

Automating sequencing reads retrieval is best handled by running the Python CLI script to download results directly from the Plasmidsaurus API. This streamlines data access for offline analysis and archival storage without manual intervention.

Does this approach require any external dependencies to fetch plasmid sequences?

Fetching plasmid sequences with this script requires no external dependencies. It operates independently using a standalone Python script, relying solely on standard environment variables for authentication to retrieve sequencing data.
