Difference in results between web search and API query

[Jeremy Ng]

Hi all, 

Consider the following variant: 

chr3,  47165548 G>A

When I submit the query via the web, the variant is found in 6 BEACONS (https://beacon-network.org//#/search?pos=47165548&chrom=3&allele=A&ref=G&rs=GRCh37) 

However, when I search via the API, the results appear to be different. For instance, the site indicates that the variant is present in AMPLab. The same query, submitted via the API,  does not seem to give the same result - see for instance: https://beacon-network.org/api/responses/amplab?chrom=3&pos=47165548&allele=A&ref=hg19. Of interest is the tage: <response>false</response>. 

Can someone shed some light on what am I missing in my API query?

Thanks for shedding some light! 

Jeremy

Hi All,

I've also encountered the same problem and to add to that, when I try the API example, it works and there are results. However, if I put the same variant to browser, it gives no result.

Example API:

https://beacon-network.org/api/responses?chrom=17&pos=41244981&allele=G&ref=GRCh37&beacon=[amplab,brca-exchange]

Browser:

https://beacon-network.org/#/search?chrom=17&pos=41244981&ref=A&allele=G&rs=GRCh37

Thanks and best,

Jack
