Obtain genome coordinates for a DNA sequence using ENSEMBL API

I can successfully use Ensembl BLAT to identify the coordinates in hg38 human genome e.g. for sequence: ACTCACCTCTTGCCAGTGAC

However I have many hundreds of sequences where I need to identify the coordinates and I wanted to use an API to do this. Is there anyway to get the genomic coordinates for short DNA segments such as above?

If you are using linux (and are not from a for-profit or industrial institution) you can set up gfServer/gfclient locally to do multiple blat searches.
