    <p>Hi Ramiro</p>
    <p>Correct: the archive/id endpoint doesn't know how to retrieve the
      history of gene-tree and family IDs</p>

        <div>So, although all entities are the ones listed in e.g., <a
            href="https://www.ensembl.org/info/genome/stable_ids/prefixes.html"
            moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.ensembl.org/info/genome/stable_ids/prefixes.html</a>,
          the ones that are retrievable via the endpoint "GET
          archive/id/:id" are only: gene, transcript, protein and exon.
          Correct?</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>For example, if I try to get a gene tree, e.g.
          ENSGT00390000013823: <a
href="https://rest.ensembl.org/archive/id/ENSGT00390000013823?content-type=application/json"
            moz-do-not-send="true">https://rest.ensembl.org/archive/id/ENSGT00390000013823?content-type=application/json</a></div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>the server replies with "<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">{"error":"No object found for ENSGT00390000013823"}</span>".</div>

          Ensembl ID and stable id are the same id. We will have a look

          <br>
          The list of entities is correct in the FAQ and <a

            rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.ensembl.org/info/genome/stable_ids/index.html</a>
          refers to the stable ids and versioning of genes, transcripts,
          proteins and exons, this is why they do not have all the
