NIH: Submit Blast
NIH via Parse · healthcare
Submit a BLAST job to NCBI and receive a Request ID (RID) for tracking. The RID can be used with check_status and get_results endpoints to monitor and retrieve results. Returns immediately with the RID and an estimated time of execution (RTOE) in seconds. 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.
- genetic_code (string): NCBI genetic code number for translation (used by blastx/tblastx). Standard code is 1.
