Retrieve bioSamples from NCBI using url API

Hello everyone,

I was wondering and looking around in thr internet if there's any way to retrieve biosamples meta data using the url API, In fact, i need this for a script that will be implemented in django, I used the same method to retrieve bioProject metadata and it worked perfectly ( i just dynamically combined the link outils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/outils/eftech.fcgi + the name of database + the accession numbera), which returns an XML.

This method doesn't work for bioSamples because the developers of Entrez used a "historyId" attribute instead of the accession number for retrieving data from using the link !

I would like to get your help or guidance for any path that might be helpfull

Thanks

Not clear what exactly you are looking to get. Can you provide an example?
