RESTful Web Services Search Keyword Vocabulary

The following vocabulary may be used to form queries to search for entries. These terms are identical to those used in the web interface for forming queries. An xml document containing all possible search fields is also accessible at https://sabiork.h-its.org/sabioRestWebServices/searchKineticLaws. Queries are formed using one or more of the fields below and should be passed as a request parameter named "q". Fields may be combined using the boolean AND operator to form complex queries.

Query syntax

It is highly recommended to encapsulate the query term within quotes. Any space character that is not inside quotes causes an error and subsequently no data will be returned (wrong: eg Organism:Homo sapiens; correct: Organism:"Homo sapiens"). This is especially important for queries that include organism, tissue, compound, pathway or enzyme name.

Only queries using Sabio-ID's should be performed without quoting (eg EntryID:123; SabioCompoundID:34; SabioReactionID:14).
The same applies for boolean values (eg HasKineticData:true).

Sabio-RK RESTful web services support both GET and POST requests.

Queries should be URL-encoded. A simple test can be performed using cURL or wget, eg for:

q=Substrate:"P1,P4-Bis(5'-guanosyl) tetraphosphate" AND CellularLocation:"cytosol" AND Tissue:"egg" AND Organism:"Artemia salina" AND temperature:[-10.0 TO 115.0]
