Protein-translated BLAT (protein or translated RNA queries) uses the standard vertebrate genetic code. It will be slightly less sensitive on mitochondria and species using other genetic codes. More information on standard genetic codes can be found on the NCBI website. Additional details on mitochondria codon tables can be found on the Wikiwand website.
For programmatic access, BLAT supports URL queries which are returned as psl format in a JSON structure. -This is only available for DNA queries. The URL requires 2 variables, the sequence to blat and -the database:
+The URL requires 3 variables, the sequence to blat, the type of query and the database:-https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgBlat?userSeq=[seq]&type=DNA&db=[database]&output=json+https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgBlat?userSeq=[seq]&type=[type]&db=[database]&output=json
-For example:
