Allen Brain Atlas API">Allen Brain Atlas API
The Allen Institute for Brain Science offers access to its published data through an application programming interface (API). The API, documentation, sample applications, and 2012 Allen Brain Atlas Hackathon
materials are made available to the community under the Allen Institute's Terms of Use in hopes of facilitating discovery.

Resources
Download colorized and labeled atlas images, histological images, SVG atlas graphics and the associated structure ontology. |
|
The data model includes entities from molecular biology, anatomic atlases, laboratory artifacts, experiments, and annotations. |
|
Download 3-D gene expression summaries re-sampled to a canonical reference space. |
|
The SVG download service returns annotations associated with the specified SectionImage as scalable vector graphics. |
|
The image download services serves whole and partial two-dimensional images presented on the Allen Brain Atlas Web site. |
|
Download a hierarchical XML or JSON document containing each of the Structures in an Ontology. |
|
Commonly requested queries for experiment metadata. |
|
Image synchronization services use alignment results to find corresponding position between SectionDataSets, the 3-D reference model and structures. |
|
Gene expression and projection statistics. |
|
RESTful service for searching and retrieving data from the Allen Institute. |
