A Python API client for US EPA's Computational Toxicology and Exposure APIs.
Project description
ctx-python
Python wrapper for U.S. EPA's Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure (CTE) APIs.
Installation
ctx-python
is available to install via pip
.
pip install ctx-python
Initialization
Before being able to access CCTE's API, a user must acquire an API key. See https://api-ccte.epa.gov/docs/ for more information.
Once an API key is obtained, ctx-python
offers two options for passing the key for authentication:
- Supply the key at the point of instantiatation for each domain. This will look something like:
import ctxpy as ctx
chem = ctx.Chemical(x_api_key='648a3d70')
ctx-python
comes with a command-line tool that will utilize the.env
file that will store the key. If no key is supplied at instantiation,ctx-python
will automatically attempt to load this file and use a key stored there.
[user@host~]$ ctx_init --x-api-key 648a3d70
This will result in the .env file having three new environment variables added to the file: ctx_api_host
, ctx_api_accept
, ctx_x_api_key
.
import ctxpy as ctx
chem = ctx.Chemical()
Usage
The backbone of ctx-python
is its base Connection
class. This class takes the appropriate authentication key and other important information for GET and POST commands and stores them for each call to the API. There are 5 different domains that have a specific Connection
sub-class:
- Chemical
- Exposure
- Hazard (comming soon)
- Bioactivity (comming soon)
- Ecotox (comming soon)
Chemical
The Chemical
class provides capabilities to:
- search for chemicals by their names, CAS-RNs, DTXSIDs, or other potential identifiers
- retrieve details about a chemical from a DTXSID (single chemical or batch search) or DTXCID (single chemical only)
- search for chemicals that match features common in Mass Spectrometry (i.e., a range of molecular mass, chemical formula, or by DTXCID)
import ctx
# Start an instance of the Chemical class
chem = ctx.Chemical()
# Search for some data
chem.search(by='equals',word='toluene')
chem.search(by='starts-with',word='atra')
chem.search(by='contains',word='-00-')
chem.search(by='batch',word=['50-00-0','BPA'])
# Get some chemical details
chem.details(by='dtxsid', word='DTXSID7020182')
chem.details(by='dtxcid', word='DTXCID701805')
chem.details(by='batch', word=['DTXSID7020182','DTXSID3021805'])
# Search for some MS info
chem.msready(by='dtxcid',word='DTXCID30182')
chem.msready(by='formula', word='C17H19NO3')
chem.msready(by='mass', start=200.9, end=200.93)
Exposure
The Exposure
class provides capabilities to:
- search for a chemical's:
- reported functional use information
- predicted functional uses
- presence in consumer/industrial formulations or articles
- presence in annotated chemical list
- retrieve controlled vocabularies for:
- Function Categories (FC)
- Product Use Categories (PUC)
- List Presence Keywords (LPKs)
import ctx
# Start an instance of the Exposure class
expo = ctx.Exposure()
# Search for some data
expo.search(by="fc",word="DTXSID7020182")
expo.search(by='qsur',word='DTXSID7020182')
expo.search(by='puc',word='DTXSID7020182')
expo.search(by='lpk', word='DTXSID7020182')
# Get controlled vocabularies
expo.vocabulary(by='fc')
expo.vocabulary(by='puc')
expo.vocabulary(by='lpk')
