Python access to the Ensembl REST API
Requires Python: <3.14,>=3.9

# Getting Started with enembl-rest-client
__version__: `0.1.4b0`

enembl-rest-client provides Pythonic access to the Ensembl REST services. I build this for some of my other projects to use as there was not anything implemented at the time. It implemented most the current endpoints at `http://rest.ensembl.org` at the time but I have not checked all the current endpoints.

Note that not all the implemented endpoint methods have been tested properly. They are being tested as they are used and having a pytest test written for them.

Now there are other ensembl rest implementations. You may be better using these:

* https://pypi.org/project/pyEnsemblRest/
* https://pypi.org/project/ensembl-rest/

There is [online](https://cfinan.gitlab.io/ensembl-rest-client/index.html) documentation for ensembl-rest-client.
