Ability to pass parameters through URL

[BeatWolf]

Hi,

previous versions of primer3 allowed to pass parameters to the web interface through the URL, like this:

https://www.primer3plus.com/index.html?SEQUENCE_TEMPLATE=TCCGGCTCTGCTCCTGGCTGGGGGTCTCCTTGGCCTTCTTACAGGTGTACAGCCACTTGATGATGCGGGCGTTCCTCTCGATGACCGAAGTGGTGCTGGGCACCTGCTCTATCAGCTCCTCCTCCTGCAGCCCCTCGTCGTCGCCGCCGC%5BTGTGCCGGGAGAAGCCGCTGCCGGAGGTGGCGACGCTCACGCTGCGCACCTTGAGGGTCACACAGTCCGACCCCGCGGTGAAGTTCTCCCTCCCCAGGGCCTCCACCACCTCGGGGTCCAGGCCGCAGTACTGGAAGAAGGTGTCAGACTCGGCCAAGGCAGCGGAATAGCGGGAGCTGAGGTCCGACTGTGAGCGCTGCA%5DGCCCCCGACGCCTCACCACCCGCGGCTCTGGCCCAGGGGGCGCGGCCGGGACACTGGAGGGCGCCGCGGACCGCGCGGCTGGGGCTGGGGTCTCGGGGATTGCGGGGTCCGCCGCGGGGCCAGGAGTGGTCGGGACCGTCTCCGGGTTC

This was very useful to integrate primer3 into other tools so that the user does not have to copy the sequence manually.

Is there a reason this functionality was removed and could it maybe come back?

thanks for your help and your great work.

Hi,

the javascript heavy version made things more complicated, but it is still there. You need now to use the upload address:
https://www.primer3plus.com/primer3plus/api/v1/upload?SEQUENCE_TEMPLATE=TCCGGCTCTGCTCCTGGCTGGGGGTCTCCTTGGCCTTCTTACAGGTGTACAGCCACTTGATGATGCGGGCGTTCCTCTCGATGACCGAAGTGGTGCTGGGCACCTGCTCTATCAGCTCCTCCTCCTGCAGCCCCTCGTCGTCGCCGCCGC%5BTGTGCCGGGAGAAGCCGCTGCCGGAGGTGGCGACGCTCACGCTGCGCACCTTGAGGGTCACACAGTCCGACCCCGCGGTGAAGTTCTCCCTCCCCAGGGCCTCCACCACCTCGGGGTCCAGGCCGCAGTACTGGAAGAAGGTGTCAGACTCGGCCAAGGCAGCGGAATAGCGGGAGCTGAGGTCCGACTGTGAGCGCTGCA%5DGCCCCCGACGCCTCACCACCCGCGGCTCTGGCCCAGGGGGCGCGGCCGGGACACTGGAGGGCGCCGCGGACCGCGCGGCTGGGGCTGGGGTCTCGGGGATTGCGGGGTCCGCCGCGGGGCCAGGAGTGGTCGGGACCGTCTCCGGGTTC

I hope this works for you.

Best,

I forgot to mention: GET and POST requests work with this address (in case the sequence is long)...

Thank you, that is perfect!
