SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Retrieve and integrate KEGG REST API data (pathways, genes, compounds, drugs) for research pipelines, enabling automated access without manual web scraping.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • REST endpoints for info, list, find, get, conv, link, and ddi to fetch pathway, gene, compound, and drug data.
  • Use cases include batch retrieval of pathways, organism-specific queries, cross-database ID conversion, and construction of pathway-centric analyses.

Quick Start

Query KEGG pathways for a human organism using the REST API.

FAQPage Schema
How do I query KEGG REST API pathways and genes for academic research?▼

Query KEGG REST API pathways and genes by calling info, list, find, and get endpoints to retrieve biological data for academic research workflows without manual web scraping.

Can I convert IDs across databases using the KEGG REST API?▼

Yes, you can convert IDs across databases using the KEGG REST conv endpoint to map external identifiers to KEGG genes, compounds, and drugs for cross-database analysis.

What's the best way to batch retrieve KEGG compounds and drugs programmatically?▼

Batch retrieve KEGG compounds and drugs programmatically by automating REST API list and get requests to fetch chemical and pharmacological datasets for research pipelines.

Does the KEGG REST API support organism-specific pathway mapping?▼

Yes, the KEGG REST API supports organism-specific pathway mapping through the link endpoint, connecting organism genes to their corresponding biological pathways.

How do I perform drug-drug interaction analysis using KEGG REST endpoints?▼

Perform drug-drug interaction analysis using the KEGG REST ddi endpoint to retrieve interaction data programmatically, validating operations through local helper scripts.

Why use KEGG REST endpoints instead of manual web scraping for bioinformatics data?▼

Use KEGG REST endpoints to automate bioinformatics data retrieval, eliminating manual web scraping errors and enabling validated programmatic access to pathways, genes, and compounds.
