Service Info

Computational genomic workflows rely on web services and APIs. However, searching for web services to use and understanding the parameters they need — especially across organisational boundaries — is often a manual and time-consuming process. Developed by the Discovery Work Stream, the Service Info API is a simple protocol that exposes information about a single service — including its capabilities, limitations, and how to interact with it. Multiple Service Info endpoints can be aggregated together to form networks of services using the Service Registry API.
