🧠 HPO Phenotypes Scraper
🚀 Export Human Phenotype Ontology terms in seconds. HPO ID, name, definition, synonyms, parents, children, associated diseases, and genes.
The HPO Phenotypes Scraper turns the public Jackson Laboratory HPO API into a flat dataset of phenotype terms. Search by keyword or HPO ID, and optionally enrich each term with its associated diseases and causal genes.
The Human Phenotype Ontology is the standard vocabulary of phenotypic abnormalities used in clinical genetics worldwide.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| 🧬 Clinical geneticists | Map patient phenotypes to candidate genes |
| 🔬 Rare disease researchers | Build phenotype profiles for cohorts |
| 🩺 Diagnostic teams | Enrich HPO term picklists |
| 🤖 Bioinformaticians | Mirror HPO into local pipelines |
| 📊 Pharma R&D | Track phenotypes linked to drug targets |
| 👩💻 Developers | Skip the OBO file parsing |
📋 What the HPO Phenotypes Scraper does
- Searches the HPO term catalog by keyword or resolves a single HPO ID.
- For each term, returns name, definition, synonyms, parent and child terms.
- Optionally enriches with associated OMIM / Orphanet diseases and causal genes.
- Flattens nested arrays to delimited strings for spreadsheet imports.
- Returns clean error rows on empty searches.
- Exports to your preferred dataset format.
💡 Why it matters: Most HPO consumers download the entire OBO file, parse it themselves, and then build a search index. This actor lets you query HPO directly with one click.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: associatedDiseases, children, definition, genes, hpoId, name, parents, results, scrapedAt, synonyms. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
⚠️ Good to Know: Disease and gene enrichment adds one extra request per term. Disable it for fast catalog dumps.
🚀 How to use
- Click Try for free.
- Type a phenotype keyword or HPO ID.
- Toggle disease and gene enrichment.
- Click Start.
