query and export SNPs information from ensembl

Hello, I have a list of ~20k triallelic SNPs , for example rs671506456 rs670806037 rs637224077 rs643237653 rs646787051 rs636673970 rs642216931 rs672210604 rs642192994 I would like to export from Ensembl maf information for the three alleles but in Biomart seem to not be possible. Please there is some way to do it? Thank you Vincenzo

Hi Vincenzo,

I would advise using the Ensembl REST API: https://rest.ensembl.org

You can use the POST variation:/species/ endpoint using the pops optional parameter: https://rest.ensembl.org/documentation/info/variation_post
