What problem does it solve?
Retrieves and orchestrates UniProt data programmatically via REST APIs, enabling researchers to search proteins, fetch sequences, and map identifiers without manual browsing.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Protein search by name, gene, accession, or organism via the UniProt REST API.
- Sequence retrieval in FASTA (and other supported formats) with optional field selection.
- ID mapping between UniProt and external resources (PDB, Ensembl, RefSeq, etc.) for cross-database workflows.
- Batch queries and streaming to support large datasets and integration into data pipelines.
- Example workflow: search insulin, fetch its sequence, and map to a related resource.
Quick Start
Query a protein by accession and fetch its FASTA sequence.
