Steps

  1. Generate a personal API key from Benchling user Profile Settings, or an App client ID/secret for OAuth Bearer auth
  2. Authenticate with HTTP Basic auth using the API key as username and an empty password against your tenant subdomain, e.g. https://<tenant>.benchling.com/api/v2/...
  3. Call GET /api/v2/dna-sequences, /api/v2/entries, or /api/v2/custom-entities to list ELN/registry data, filterable by projectId, registryId, or schemaId
  4. Resolve IDs first via GET /api/v2/projects and GET /api/v2/registries before filtering entity list calls
  5. Register new entities into the registry per Benchling's documented Registering Entities workflow
  6. Use the returning query parameter (comma-separated field paths or a wildcard) to shape bulk listing responses
