Benchling Enzyme API

Represents a restriction enzyme from Benchling's global catalog of commercially availableenzymes. Restriction enzymes (also known as restriction endonucleases) are molecular scissorsthat recognize specific DNA sequences and cleave the DNA at defined positions. Each enzymehas a recognition sequence (restrictionSiteBases), such as GAATTC for EcoRI, and cut sitedetails (see CutSiteDetail) specifying where the enzyme cuts relative to that recognitionsite. Enzymes can produce blunt ends or sticky ends (overhangs) depending on their cutpattern. Users can organize frequently used enzymes into EnzymeLists for convenient accessduring cloning workflow design.

Benchling Enzyme API is one of 203 APIs that Benchling publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Enzyme. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, authentication docs, rate-limit docs, and a changelog.

This API exposes 3 operations across 3 paths, and defines 6 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version 2.0.0.

Requests are made against a single base URL, /api/v3.

Authentication & Security 3

Benchling Enzyme API declares 3 security schemes for authenticating requests. It accepts HTTP basic authentication (basicApiKeyAuth). It accepts HTTP basic authentication (basicClientIdSecretAuth). It supports OAuth 2.0 (oAuth) using the clientCredentials flow. By default, every request must be authenticated.

  • basicApiKeyAuth — Use issued API key for standard access to the API
  • basicClientIdSecretAuth — Auth used as part of client credentials OAuth flow prior to receiving a bearer token.
  • oAuth — OAuth2 Client Credentials flow intended for service access

Paths & Operations 3

Across 3 paths, the API surfaces 3 operations — 3 GET. Each is listed below with its method, path, parameters, and response codes.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Benchling Enzyme API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
