Developers · API
Open infrastructure, not a walled garden.
Submit designs and pull results from code. Whatever you design with, reef is an API you build on, and both the honest engine and the characterization loop are reachable programmatically.
# submit a design for characterization
POST https://api.reef.bio/v1/runs
{ "design": "<sbol or reef-hdl>", "features": ["io","dynamics"], "replicates": 3 }
# → an evidence package when the run completes
GET https://api.reef.bio/v1/runs/{id}/evidence
{ "coverage": 0.97, "metrics": [ … ], "tier": "measured" }
Why an API
Design anywhere. Characterize on reef.
Bring your own tools
Submit designs from Benchling, a notebook, or your own pipeline. reef does not need to own the design step to characterize it.
Results as clean data
Pull back structured, labeled evidence packages, tiered by what backs each number, ready to feed your own models.
Lab-in-the-loop
Close design-build-test-learn in code: submit a round, read the results, submit the next, and let the engine sharpen.
Full API reference and quickstart are landing with early access.
