Bioregistry Resolve Reference

Resolve a compact identifier (prefix:id) to provider URLs across 2600+ biological databases. Given a database prefix (e.g., 'uniprot', 'chebi', 'go', 'pubmed') and an identifier, returns URLs from all known providers. Useful for cross-database linking and identifier resolution.
