Hello,

Is sequence/image search possible using the username or user key?

Using the previous API version, we were able to download the images of a user. An example scenario of doing this was to:

1. Use the username to retrieve the user key
2. Retrieve the user sequences with the user key
3. Retrieve the images using the sequences

For the moment, the documentation of the new API only mentions this kind of sequence search capability using the organization\_id.

Thanks,  
George

Hi, George! It is current not possible with username or key. We are reviewing how this may work in the future.
