How to get uniprot ID or protein length from Entrez gene id or gene name?

Hi,

I have to calculate the protein length from a list of Entrez gene ids and gene names. I also need to get the uniprot IDs. I tried uniprot's API to get data but it returns more than one result for gene name (HUGO gene name). Is there any way to get these data?

As an examples; Genes :KRAS, TP53,
Entrez gene id: 3845, 7157

Always post example ID's when asking questions about them. Without that information difficult to answer these questions.

Using Entrezdirect:
