I occasionally use and/or recommend dbSNP batch query service to search rs-IDs and get for example the coordinates.
Today I read that the batch query service will be discontinued in June. See also this post. (Has been announced in July apparently but I missed it then).
What are good alternatives, optionally web-based?

My suggestion would be to download the dbSNP vcf file of interest and query it using Unix tools, bcftools etc. But I guess that doesn't work...? What about ensembl/biomart with dataset "Human Short Variants"? You can select as filter "Variant source: dbSNP" and put your IDs in "Filter by Variant name". There is also a biomart package for R.
For me personally, those options would all work, but none of those is as convenient as justing putting your rs IDs in the field and getting the results.
