Report schemas

NCBI Datasets Data Package report formats

Data packages downloaded through the website, command line interface (CLI), or the APIs include JSON Lines -formatted report files that contain metadata about the requested records. Refer to the data package descriptions for the list of reports available in each package.

Each line in a data report consists of a well-defined hierarchical JSON structure that describes its associated data record. The lines within a file all have the same format and the schemas below define the structure and fields for each type of data report.
