System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

KEGG data access for academic work is often gated behind manual browsing; this skill provides direct REST API access to query pathways, genes, compounds, and related data from KEGG for programmatic workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • REST API coverage: supports info/list/find/get/conv/link/ddi endpoints via Python utilities.
  • Programmatic data retrieval: enables retrieval of pathway maps, gene catalogs, and ID conversions for integration with analysis pipelines.
  • Use Case: fetch the glycolysis pathway data for downstream analysis and map genes to external IDs in a reproducible Python workflow.

Quick Start

Query a KEGG pathway by ID using the included Python scripts to fetch data and interpret the results.
