GET archive/id/{id}Get the version history and latest version for an Ensembl stable identifier. Shows when the feature was created and all its subsequent updates. Essential for tracking gene annotations across Ensembl releases - use this to see if an ID has been updated, deprecated, or merged with another feature. Returns the current version plus a history of all previous versions.
Uses the given identifier to return its latest version and history.
- Ensembl IDs include version numbers (e.g., ENSG00000139618.19) - this endpoint tells you what the latest version is - Use `?type=fixed` to get only the current version without history - If an ID was replaced or merged, the `is_current` field will be false - Release numbers correspond to Ensembl database releases (typically 2-3 per year)
