Calls to this URL are made with HTTP POST. The body of the message must contain valid JSON (as described in RFC4627). The Content-Type must either be absent or set to application/json, or a MalformedJSON (400) error occurs. Query parameters in the URL are ignored.; ; Successful results are always returned as JSON in the response body, with response code 200. All responses are UTF-8 encoded. A header called "DNAnexus-API" is also provided with value equal to the version number of the API used to fulfill the query.; ; Each request receives an HTTP response code from the server. Some responses indicate that the request should be retried. ; ; For further information, please visit https://documentation.dnanexus.com/developer/api/protocols
