Hello Matteo,<br>
<br>
You have indeed spotted a bug in the REST API, if the requested
overlap region is completely within the exon's start and end it
isn't currently returned. This bug is only occurring with exon
features.<br>
<br>
The fix will be available in Ensembl 89 released in May. In the
meantime a work around would be to either expand your overlap window
or for any gene/transcripts returned do a lookup using the expand
option to find any decedent exons.<br>
<br>
Cheers.<br>

Dear Ensembl team,
<div class="">I am trying to retrieve the exon number with the <font
style="text-decoration: none;" class=""><a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://rest.ensembl.org/documentation/info/overlap_region"
style="text-decoration: none;" class="">GET
overlap/region/:species/:region</a> </font>REST API
Endpoint, however the results are not always as expected. For
example:</div>
<div class=""><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://rest.ensembl.org/overlap/region/human/1:179564700-179564705?feature=gene;feature=exon;content-type=application/json"
class="">http://rest.ensembl.org/overlap/region/human/1:179564700-179564705?feature=gene;feature=exon;content-type=application/json</a></div>
<div class="">should retrieve exon number 2, while it doesn’t
retrieve any exon.</div>
<div class="">Am I doing any mistake?</div>
<div class="">Thanks,</div>
<div class="">Matteo.</div>
