pyeutils 0.0.1

NCBI E-utilities Client

pyeutils is a lightweight Python wrapper for the NCBI E-utilities (Entrez Programming Utilities) API. It simplifies programmatic access to the vast array of biomedical data available from NCBI, including PubMed, Gene, Protein, Nucleotide, and more.

NCBI’s E-utilities are a powerful but low-level REST interface. pyeutils abstracts the complexity and provides a more Pythonic way to interact with the API.

Features

• Convenient interface to NCBI’s Entrez databases

• Supports key E-utilities: esearch, efetch, esummary

• epost, elink, egquery, and espell not yet implemented

• Handles request throttling and query parameters

• Returns structured Python objects (e.g., dicts, lists, or parsed XML/JSON)

• Compatible with Python 3.9+

Installation

Install via pip:

pip install pyeutils

Quick Start

import pyeutils
client = pyeutils.NcbiEutils(API_TOKEN)

result = client.esearch('assembly', 'GCF_000005845.2')
print(result.id_list)
