🧬 NCBI dbSNP Variants Scraper
🚀 Pull human SNP variants from NCBI dbSNP in seconds. rsIDs, chromosome and position, alleles, functional class, gene context, clinical significance and global minor allele frequencies from the official NIH database.
NCBI dbSNP is the world's authoritative public catalogue of single-nucleotide variants. This scraper wraps the official E-utilities esearch + esummary flow and returns a clean, structured table for any gene, condition or rsID query.
Every record carries the rsID, SPDI string, chromosome position, allele, functional class (intron/upstream/exon), gene symbols and Entrez IDs, validation status, clinical significance and global MAFs from 1000Genomes, gnomAD, TOPMED, TOMMO, ALFA and more.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Geneticists and bioinformaticians | Pull variant tables for a gene of interest |
| Clinical researchers | Build pathogenic-variant lists for a condition |
| Pharma and biotech | Annotate genotyping panels |
| Academic teams | Run reproducible analyses without flat-file pulls |
| Data engineers | Pipe dbSNP into your variant warehouse |
📋 What the NCBI dbSNP Variants Scraper does
- Calls the official E-utilities
esearchto resolve a gene/condition/rsID query - Calls
esummaryto fetch full variant metadata - Returns rsID, SPDI, chromosome, position, alleles, gene context, clinical significance, global MAFs
- Stream-delivers to multiple table outputs
💡 Why it matters: every clinical and pharmacogenomic analysis starts with annotating variants. dbSNP is the canonical source - and this actor makes it queryable from a spreadsheet workflow.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: alleles, chromosome, results, rsid, scrapedAt, sourceUrl. 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: NCBI E-utilities is rate-limited to 3 requests/sec without an API key. The actor batches IDs into a single
esummarycall to stay well under the limit.
🚀 How to use
- Create a free Apify account (includes $5 credit).
- Open the NCBI dbSNP Variants Scraper.
- Set
query(gene symbol, rsID or condition). - Click Start and use multiple table outputs.
- Schedule or trigger from your bioinformatics pipeline.
