Retrieve protein sequence from Mgnify given only accession code

Question

[jscience]

I only have the accession codes of several proteins from the MGnify database. I would like to retrieve the full amino acid sequence data from the database, but I have not been able to find a way to do this using the web server or available API.

An example of the accession code is MGYP001242958860.

How can I get the protein sequence?

That does not look like a valid accession: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metagenomics/search/studies?query=+MGYP001242958860

It does not return any hits when you do a text search, but it is a valid accession for protein data. See https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metagenomics/sequence-search/seq?seq_ac=MGYP000080499703&seq_id=21980190

[GenoMax]

Are these accessions private? It looks like most of the study accessions available on https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metagenomics/search/studies?page=175 are in the format MGYPnnnnnnnn (8 digit number). Examples you show above are much longer and not found in text search.

Look them up in the ESM Atlas as follows: https://api.esmatlas.com/fetchSequence/MGYP001242958860
