ElemBio™ Cloud API and CLI
Build, automate, and analyze on our sequencing and multiomics platforms
Explore everything you need to work programmatically with AVITI™, AVITI24™, and VITARI™ data, using ElemBio Cloud API and CLI, and surrounded by a full ecosystem of open analysis tools.
ElemBio Cloud API: A REST API for your runs and metrics
A REST API that surfaces the same run data you see in ElemBio Cloud and is ready to power dashboards, monitoring tools, LIMS read-back, and custom automation in any language.
What you can do
- List and filter runs by status, type, instrument, or date
- Retrieve run details, and QC metrics
- Track analysis flow execution status
- Download run files and analysis outputs on demand
- Mount run data as a read-only local directory without downloading files
- Feed run data into your LIMS or data warehouse
How it works
With an ElemBio Catalyst™ subscription, your run data is available in ElemBio Cloud, accessible through the ElemBio API or CLI, and ready to power custom automation pipelines and natural-language AI agents.

The ElemBio Cloud API and CLI use standard REST conventions, bearer-token auth, JSON responses, and predictable HTTP status codes.
Resources
The API exposes a small set of core resources, each addressable over standard REST endpoints:
|
RESOURCE |
DESCRIPTION |
|
Runs |
Sequencing run records you can list and filter by status, type, instrument, or date. |
|
Run details |
Full run metadata and quality metrics for an individual run. |
|
Analysis flows |
Execution status and outputs of the analysis flows tied to your runs. |
|
Instruments |
Your instruments and their status across the fleet. |
|
Files |
Run files and analysis outputs to download on demand or mount as a read-only directory. |
Use cases
Put the REST API to work on automating pipelines, feeding dashboards and warehouses, and powering natural-language AI agents.
|
AUTOMATION & PIPELINES • Detect run completion and pull metrics automatically. • Retrieve FASTQ and analysis files to kick off your downstream analysis. |
DATA INTEGRATION & DASHBOARDS • Sync run metadata and results into your LIMS, warehouse, or dashboards. • Push to an internal data lake on a schedule. |
AI AGENTS & NATURAL LANGUAGE • Let AI agents query your runs, instruments, and metrics. • Summarize results and analyze trends. |
ElemBio Cloud CLI: A scriptable shell for the API
A single binary CLI that wraps the API in human-friendly commands. You can drop it into cron jobs, CI pipelines, Nextflow workflows, or use it for quick fleet checks.
Key features
|
ONE BINARY, ZERO DEPENDENCIES Install once on macOS, Linux, or Windows with no dependencies to manage. |
SECURE, SCOPED LOGIN Authenticate once with a scoped API token and your credentials stay safely stored. |
FULL FLEET VISIBILITY List and inspect runs, executions, and instruments across your whole lab. |
|
BUILT FOR AUTOMATION Drop commands into cron, CI, or Nextflow without writing HTTP client code. |
MOUNT RUN DATA (FUSE) Stream cloud files as a read-only local directory without downloads. |
Use cases
|
SCRIPTING & CI • Run quick commands in bash, cron, or CI pipelines. • Script repetitive tasks across many runs. |
BULK & REMOTE ACCESS • Download large run outputs from any terminal. • Skip writing HTTP client code for routine pulls. |
EASY DATA SHARING • Share run and execution data with a single command.
|
Open tools and tutorials
The wider ecosystem extends downstream of the API and CLI, starting with ElemBio Catalyst, our cloud compute and storage platform that provides secure, region-specific compute and data management and optimized bioinformatic workflows, including:
|
Bases2Fastq Convert base calls into FASTQ files locally for any downstream bioinformatics pipeline. |
Cells2Stats Cells2Stats processes multiomics data to generate detailed statistics and outputs that enable downstream analysis and visualization. |
Python notebooks Python notebooks for resegmenting cells and clustering multiomics data with to visualize cell populations in a UMAP. |
|
Seurat integration Integrate AVITI24 data with Seurat to unlock the wider single-cell analysis ecosystem. |
Cloud service providers Connect providers such as AWS, DNAnexus, Google Cloud, and Seqera for storage connections, compute activities, and verified flows. |
