Retrieve the aa sequence for a given IMG gene ID

Hi,

I have like 2000+ IMG(https://img.jgi.doe.gov/) gene IDs, for example, 637038738, and I would like to get the aa sequence of that gene. I have searched for hours but couldn't find a way to do that automatically.

I don't need to the whole organism genome so the API (https://genome.jgi.doe.gov/portal/help/download.jsf)wouldn't help.

I was wondering if anyone have any insights or suggestions?

Thank you very much

For anyone who's wondering: here's the solution from Amy Chen from the IMG: (I clicked the "contact us" button)

After you select and add 2000+ genes into gene cart, click "Select All" button, then go to the "Upload & Export & Save" tab to find the export function. In the "Export Genes" section, select "FASTA Amino Acid format" and click "Show in Export Format"

I've tried and this works!
