 <h2>Data updates</h2>
 <p>ClinVar publishes a new release on the 
 <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/feed/rss.cgi?ChanKey=ClinVarNews">first Thursday every month</a> 
 and this track is updated automatically at most six days 
 later. The exact date of our last update is shown when you click onto any variant. 
 You can find the previous versions of the track organized by month on our
 downloads server in the 
 <a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/archive/clinvar/" target="_blank">archive</a>
 directory. To access one of these previous versions, paste the URL to one of
 the older files into our "Custom tracks" box.</p>
 
 <H2>Data access</H2>
 <p>
 The raw data can be explored interactively with the <a href="../cgi-bin/hgTables">Table Browser</a>
-or the <a href="../cgi-bin/hgIntegrator">Data Integrator</a>.
+or the <a href="../cgi-bin/hgIntegrator">Data Integrator</a>. The data can be
+accessed from scripts through our <a href="https://api.genome.ucsc.edu">API</a>, the track names are
+"clinVarMain and "clinVarCnv".
 
 <p>
 For automated download and analysis, the genome annotation is stored in a bigBed file that
 can be downloaded from
 <a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/gbdb/$db/bbi/" target="_blank">our download server</a>.
 The files for this track are called <tt>clinVarMain.bb</tt> and <tt>clinVarCnv.bb</tt>. Individual
 regions or the whole genome annotation can be obtained using our tool <tt>bigBedToBed</tt>
 which can be compiled from the source code or downloaded as a precompiled
 binary for your system. Instructions for downloading source code and binaries can be found
 <a href="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/downloads.html#utilities_downloads">here</a>.
 The tool
 can also be used to obtain only features within a given range, e.g. 
 <tt>bigBedToBed http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/gbdb/hg19/bbi/clinvar/clinvarMain.bb -chrom=chr21 -start=0 -end=100000000 stdout</tt></p>
