JGI Portal Name corresponding to taxon ID

[Alex Yenkin]

I was trying to access the jgi genome portal programmatically using the API to download data for several thousand IMG datasets. The API requires me to have the portal name for the dataset in the genome portal, which for many IMG projects is simply IMG_[IMG Genome ID] (e.g. IMG_2626542024). However, most of the genomes I want have a portal name based on the name of the organism (BurxenLB400_FD for genome ID 637000053). Is there some way that I can get the portal name for a given genome ID, or is there some formula for the portal name given the name of the organism?

You can search img taxon ids in the JGI Portal.

For portal question please use the Portal contact us link.

The issue is that I have thousands of img taxon ids, so it would be impractical to search each one in the JGI portal to find out the correct portal name (and if I search all of them with the pipe character, then it takes forever to get results, and I would still have to click each one to individually to get the portal name). I want to be able to find the portal name for many taxon ids at once. 

I sent a message to the contact us page on JGI, so hopefully they will reply. I just wanted to clarify my problem for any future person. Thanks for your help
