What problem does it solve?

Access to the Metabolomics Workbench REST API for programmatic retrieval of metabolite data, study metadata, and RefMet nomenclature.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Access over 4,200 studies including RefMet standardized names, MS/NMR data, and untargeted datasets.
  • Retrieve compound data, study metadata, and cross-references across multiple endpoints (compound, study, refmet, metstat, gene, protein, moverz).
  • Export results in JSON or TXT for integration into data pipelines and automated analyses.

Quick Start

Run a REST API query to fetch metabolite and study information and export the results as JSON.

FAQPage Schema
How do I query metabolomics study metadata and compound data via REST API?

You can query metabolomics study metadata and compound data by sending requests to the Metabolomics Workbench REST API, which retrieves hundreds of thousands of records across compounds, studies, and analyses. Results are returned in JSON or TXT format for pipeline integration.

What is RefMet nomenclature and how can I retrieve it programmatically?

RefMet nomenclature provides standardized names for metabolomics data. You can retrieve RefMet standardized names programmatically by querying the dedicated refmet endpoint of the Metabolomics Workbench REST API, returning structured JSON or TXT outputs.

Can I access MS and NMR metabolomics data through the Metabolomics Workbench API?

Yes, you can access MS and NMR metabolomics data by querying the Metabolomics Workbench REST API. It provides programmatic access to over 4,200 studies, including untargeted datasets and MS/NMR data, exportable in JSON or TXT formats.

Does the Metabolomics Workbench API support gene, protein, and moverz endpoints?

Yes, the Metabolomics Workbench REST API supports multiple contexts including gene, protein, and moverz endpoints. This allows you to retrieve cross-referenced metabolite data, gene, and protein information, plus moverz data for automated analyses.

How do I export metabolomics REST API query results for automated pipelines?

You can export metabolomics REST API query results by requesting JSON or TXT formats. These outputs integrate directly into automated data pipelines, allowing you to process study metadata, compound data, and RefMet nomenclature efficiently.

What is the best way to access untargeted metabolomics datasets in bulk?

The best way to access untargeted metabolomics datasets in bulk is through the Metabolomics Workbench REST API. It enables programmatic retrieval of over 4,200 studies, including untargeted datasets, with outputs formatted as JSON or TXT for bulk processing.
