blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov API: search_blast
blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov via Parse · healthcare
Submit a BLAST job and automatically poll until results are ready, then return the full alignment results in JSON format. Combines submit_blast, check_status, and get_results into a single blocking call. May take up to several minutes depending on query complexity and server load. Access NCBI BLAST services to perform sequence alignments and retrieve results in structured JSON format. Supports blastn, blastp, blastx, and more. Fulfilled by Parse from blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.

Request fields
- query (string, required): Nucleotide or protein sequence to search (raw sequence or FASTA format).
- program (string): BLAST program to use.: Allowed values: blastn, blastp, blastx, tblastn, tblastx
- database (string): Target database. Common values: nt (nucleotide collection), nr (non-redundant protein). If omitted, defaults to nt for blastn or nr for other programs.
