Access old version of ensembl via rest API

Question

[ZheFrench]

How do you access old version of ensembl database via rest ?

Server adress is https://rest.ensembl.org but is there an alternative as http://rest.jul2016.archive.ensembl.org/ for the version you want to work on or do you have to set database version in the parameter send ? If so could you provide an example.

There are no archives on the REST API at the moment. Only the current database is accessible. You can get archive data via the Perl API by using the software version matched to the database version you want to access.
