Benchling Well Plate Position API

Represents a single well within a WellPlate, functioning as a fixed container at aspecific grid position. Each WellPlatePosition has coordinates identifying its rowand column, can hold sample contents (see ContainerContent), and tracks quantity asa Measurement. Wells can be assigned an ExperimentalRole for assay organization andsupport freeze/thaw tracking (see FreezeThawInfo) and expiration tracking (seeExpirationInfo) when enabled on the well's ContainerSchema. Unlike containers in aMatrixPlate, WellPlatePositions are permanent parts of the plate structure and cannotbe removed or repositioned. Wells are accessed through the parent WellPlate's positionsfield.

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

Tagged areas include WellPlatePosition. 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 2 operations across 2 paths, and defines 12 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version 2.0.0.

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

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Benchling Well Plate Position 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.
