# Data and code access

To support systematic identification and prioritisation of drug targets, we are committed to making our data open and available in a variety of formats to support academic research purposes and commercial activities. For more information, see our [Licence documentation](/licence.md).

For queries about a **single entity or target-disease association**, we recommend that you use:

* Our intuitive [web interface](/web-interface.md) with data tables and data visualisations that can be downloaded/exported in multiple formats, including TSV and JSON
* Our robust [GraphQL API](/data-access/graphql-api.md) with endpoints that can be accessed with the programming language of your choice and an [interactive playground](http://api.platform.opentargets.org/api/v4/graphql/browser) where you can try out sample queries

For more **complex, systematic queries**, we recommend that you use:

* Our comprehensive set of [data downloads](https://platform.opentargets.org/downloads) available via [FTP](https://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/opentargets/platform/), [Google Cloud](https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/product/bigquery-public-data/open-targets-platform?project=open-targets-genetics\&inv=1\&invt=Abwwaw), [Microsoft Azure Open Datasets](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/open-datasets/dataset-open-targets) and [AWS Open Registry Dataset](https://platform-docs.opentargets.org/data-access/release-outputs-on-aws) .
* Our [Google BigQuery](/data-access/google-bigquery.md) instance that supports SQL-like queries and allows you to export data to your own Google Cloud Storage bucket. This data is available as a [BigQuery Public Dataset](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/public-data).

If you use our data in your research or commercial product, please [cite our latest publication](/citation.md).

### New export functionality

We have designed and developed a new export functionality for the Associations On the Fly/Target Prioritisation pages, allowing users to download:

* Entire dataset view (default status)
* Customised dataset view including custom controls changes, subset of data types (aggregations) and/or data from pinned targets only
* TSV and JSON formats

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://platform-docs.opentargets.org/data-access.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
