Eutils: identifying complete genomes

Question

[idan.yelin]

Hi, I'm trying to fetch bacterial genomes while avoiding the huge amount of partially assembled unannotated ones. Entries have a 'completeness' field. However I failed to fetch (or efetch) only entries with the value 'complete' in that field. What is the right way to do it?
