The NIAID Data Ecosystem API is designed to support data scientists, bioinformaticians, and other researchers who want to integrate or analyze metadata for infectious and immune-mediated disease research.

All metadata harvested by the Discovery Portal can be accessed via API at api.data.niaid.nih.gov/. Users can also view versions there.
