GTEx Gene Expression Scraper
Profile any gene across human tissues with the GTEx Portal. Resolve a symbol like BRCA1, TP53, or EGFR to its gencode ID, then pull median expression for all 54 tissues with tissue name, median TPM, UBERON ontology ID, and dataset release. Great for target research and expression analysis.

𧬠GTEx Gene Expression Scraper
π Turn any gene symbol into a full tissue expression profile. Resolve BRCA1, TP53, or EGFR to its GTEx gencode ID and pull median expression across all 54 human tissues, each as one clean record.
GTEx (the Genotype-Tissue Expression project) is a reference resource that measures gene expression across dozens of human tissues from hundreds of donors. This Actor queries the GTEx Portal API, resolves each gene symbol to the gencode ID used by the current expression release, and returns one record per tissue with the median expression value.
Coverage spans every tissue site detail in the GTEx v10 release, from adipose and artery to brain subregions, whole blood, and reproductive tissues. You can look up a single gene or paste a batch of symbols, and each gene expands into its full tissue profile so you can compare expression side by side.
| π― Target Audience | π‘ Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Genomics and biology researchers | Build a tissue expression table for a gene panel |
| Bioinformaticians and data scientists | Map gene symbols to gencode IDs and median TPM |
| Drug discovery and target teams | Check where a candidate target is expressed |
| Educators and students | Illustrate tissue-specific expression patterns |
π What the GTEx Gene Expression Scraper does
- Resolves gene symbols (for example BRCA1, TP53, EGFR) to the GTEx gencode ID for the current release.
- Fetches median gene expression for every GTEx tissue in one pass.
- Returns one record per gene and tissue, with median value and unit.
- Carries the GTEx tissue ontology ID and dataset version on every row.
- Handles a batch of gene symbols in a single run.
π Data fields
Each record includes: datasetId, gencodeId, geneSymbol, median, ontologyId, results, scrapedAt, tissueSiteDetailId, unit, url. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
π How to use
- Sign up for a free Apify account using this link.
- Open the GTEx Gene Expression Scraper.
- Enter one or more gene symbols in
geneSymbols. - Set
maxItemsif you want to cap the run, then start the Actor. - Collect your results from the dataset once the run finishes.
π Recommended Actors
- MyChem.info Drug Annotation Scraper for curated drug and compound data.
- Reactome Pathways Scraper for biological pathway data.
- Orphanet Rare Diseases Scraper for rare disease reference data.
