Python REST API for Entrez E-Utilities: stateless, easy to use, reliable.
Project description
Python REST API for Entrez E-Utilities, aiming to be easy to use and reliable.
While other packages attempt to use stateful extensions (queries with history) which is error-prone and led to misleading results, this implementation: - avoids the problem altogether by not using such stateful API, - makes common tasks easy thanks to Pythonic API, - is typed and integrates well with mypy
Stats: Beta
from easy_entrez import EntrezAPI
entrez_api = EntrezAPI(
'your-tool-name',
'e@mail.com',
# optional
return_type='json'
)
# find up to 10 000 results for cancer in human
result = entrez_api.search('cancer AND human[organism]', max_results=10_000)
# data will be populated with JSON or XML (depending on the `return_type` value)
result.data
See more in the Demo notebook.
