BioStudies Lookup: One Study Record by Accession

biostudies/study-lookup

Returns one BioStudies study by accession (for example S-BSST1, S-EPMC10139049, S-BIAD1, E-MTAB-6694) reshaped for reading: attributes as a name-to-value map, the section's own attributes, each subsection (authors, organisations, publications) as type plus attributes with e-mail addresses removed (the first 40 kept), the first 20 files with path and size, the first 20 links, totals for all three, and `licence` when the study states one. EMBL-EBI BioStudies data, served by Eden Engine; not an official EMBL-EBI product.
