API Support & Documentation

1. Overview

The TumorHope API allows users to query the database based on Target Cell Type or Source. Users can generate URLs, CURL, or Wget commands to access data directly from the backend.

2. Interface Walkthrough

A. Select Field

Select either Target Cell or Source as your search field using the dropdown menu.

B. Select Value

Based on the selected field, a list of values will be populated. Choose one to proceed. For eg. if the selected field is Source, then the following values will be listed:

C. Fetch Data

Click on the Fetch button to generate the API URL and view CURL or Wget commands.

3. API Response

After fetching, data will be retrieved in JSON format. You can toggle the visibility of the JSON output using the "Show JSON" switch.

Example JSON

4. API URL Formats

Once you've selected a field and value, the interface generates three types of links. For eg. if the Field is Source and the Value is A33H, then the following links will be generated:

• Direct URL: https://webs.iiitd.edu.in/raghava/tumorhope2/restapi/api.php?source=A33H
• CURL Command: curl -X GET "https://webs.iiitd.edu.in/raghava/tumorhope2/restapi/api.php?source=A33H"
• Wget Command: wget -O output.json "https://webs.iiitd.edu.in/raghava/tumorhope2/restapi/api.php?source=A33H"
