Comments.Text: Have you checked the URLs from the image you pasted? The genome size should be trivial to calculate if you download the files. Also, please add the source of the image you are showing.

Comments.Text: Both resources do not offer a well documented "programmatical" access option - either REST or something equivalent, so I believe it is not possible to (trivially) do it with Python or R.
