Investigate Using an API to get information from an Ensembl Id

[agduncan94]

Some file types include Ensembl IDs for genes, however no location information. We should investigate the feasibility of using the Ensembl API to retrieve gene information (ex. name, location) from an Ensembl ID.

Investigate the REST API for Ensembl - https://rest.ensembl.org/
Look elsewhere if not enough.

Also would be interesting to determine the speed of the calls, as some files are quite large.

Other option: Could we reference a static file that has this information? That way we don't have to make a huge amount of requests.
