How to retrieve sample without any curations or only specified curations ========================================================================== User requirements ----------------- I want to retrieve samples without any curations or apply only selected curations. Limitations ----------- * The BioSamples JSON API is the only method available for retrieving samples with different curation domains applied. Use Cases --------- 1. **Retrieve a sample without any curations** Include the `applyCurations=false` query parameter to instruct BioSamples to return the original sample without any curations applied. .. code-block:: bash curl 'https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biosamples/samples/SAMEA9948714?applyCurations=false' \ -i -X GET \ -H "Accept: application/json" 2. **View all curations applied to a sample** Use the `curationlinks` endpoint to retrieve all curations that have been applied to a specific sample. .. code-block:: bash curl 'https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biosamples/samples/SAMEA9948714/curationlinks' \ -i -X GET \ -H "Accept: application/json" In this example, sample `SAMEA9948714` currently has five curations applied — these are all automatic curations performed by BioSamples curation pipelines.
