IdentifiersOrg Get Namespace

Get detailed information about a specific Identifiers.org namespace (database prefix). Returns the namespace name, ID pattern regex, description, sample ID, and provider resources. Use this to understand the identifier format for a specific database (e.g., what a valid UniProt ID looks like). The prefix is the part before the colon in a compact ID (e.g., 'uniprot' in 'uniprot:P04637'). There are 800+ registered namespaces covering most major biological databases.
