Hi, all. Now I need to download all the transcription factor 'bed' files from ENCODE website, how could I do that?

All of them? There are many hundreds, but anyway, I'd start by reading the documentation about the ENCODE API: https://www.encodeproject.org/help/rest-api/

It might be easier (if you work on human) to simply use a dedicated database which collected ENCODE data and processed them uniformly, offering easy access such as the ReMap project: http://remap.univ-amu.fr/

Good, read the docs please, the API should allow access but as said, ReMap would probably be easier.

Thank you so much. However, the files from ReMap are smaller and are different from those from ENCODE/
