SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Public data is scattered across dozens of databases; this Skill aggregates access by providing a unified REST-based lookup that returns structured JSON results from 78 public databases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-database lookup across physics/astronomy, earth science, chemistry, biology, disease & clinical, patents & regulatory, economics, and more.
  • Retrieve raw JSON payloads from multiple databases with provenance and, when possible, cross-references between entities.
  • Use cases include quickly finding compound data, gene-disease associations, drug-target interactions, regulatory filings, and economic indicators.

Quick Start

Use the database-lookup skill to fetch cross-database results and return aggregated JSON.

FAQPage Schema
How do I query multiple public databases via REST API and get unified JSON results?▼

Querying public databases via REST API is done by routing requests to relevant endpoints and aggregating the returned data into a unified JSON payload with provenance and cross-database references.

Can I retrieve gene-disease associations and drug-target interactions from bioinformatics databases?▼

Gene-disease associations and drug-target interactions can be retrieved by querying relevant biology and clinical public databases, which return structured JSON payloads with provenance and cross-references.

What happens when a public database is unavailable during a cross-database lookup?▼

When a public database is unavailable during a cross-database lookup, the system handles errors and automatically falls back to alternative databases to ensure results are still returned.

Does database-lookup support pagination for large result sets from REST APIs?▼

Pagination is supported for large result sets from REST APIs, allowing users to retrieve extensive data from public databases across physics, chemistry, biology, and economics without truncation.

How do I find compound data and regulatory filings across different public databases?▼

Finding compound data and regulatory filings is done by querying relevant chemistry and patents databases, which routes requests to appropriate REST endpoints and aggregates results into structured JSON with provenance.

Can I query economic indicators and earth science data from public databases using REST?▼

Economic indicators and earth science data can be queried from public databases using REST, with the system routing requests to appropriate endpoints and aggregating results into a unified JSON payload.
