API calls related to molecule objects:

Retrieve

Create

Update

Retrieve


GET /api/v1/vaults/<vault_id>/molecules/<id>

Return a single molecule and its batches


GET /api/v1/vaults/<vault_id>/molecules

Return a list of molecules and their batches, based on the parameters.


If batch date constraints are specified,  only batches matching the search criteria are included in the returned molecule object.


Query Parameters (all optional):

molecules Comma separated list of ids Cannot be used with other parameters
names Comma separated list of names/synonyms  
async Boolean
If true, do an asynchronous export (see Async Export)
Use for large data sets		 This is strongly recommended any time you want to download more than page_size results. 
no_structures Boolean
If true, omit structure representations for a smaller and faster response.
Default: false		  
created_before Date (YYYY-MM-DD)  
created_after Date (YYYY-MM-DD)  
modified_before Date (YYYY-MM-DD)  
modified_after Date (YYYY-MM-DD)  
batch_created_before Date (YYYY-MM-DD) A molecule with any batch that has a creation date on or before the parameter will be included
batch_created_after Date (YYYY-MM-DD) A molecule with any batch that has a creation date on or after the parameter will be included
batch_field_before_name Batch field name Specifes a user-defined batch field for batch_field_before_date
batch_field_before_date Date (YYYY-MM-DD) A molecule with any batch that has a batch_field_before_name value date on or before the parameter will be included
batch_field_after_name Batch field name Specifes a user-defined batch field for batch_field_after_date

batch_field_after_date

 Date (YYYY-MM-DD) A molecule with any batch that has a batch_field_after_name value date on or after the parameter will be included
offset The index of the first object actually returned. Defaults to 0.  
page_size The maximum number of objects to return in this call. Default is 50, maximum is 1000. If the response exceeds the page_size, we strongly recommend using the async option instead of downloading multiple chunks. 
projects Comma-separated list of project ids
Defaults to all available projects
Limits scope of query		  
data_sets Comma-separated list of public dataset ids
Defaults to no data sets
Limits scope of query

Create

 

POST /api/v1/vaults/<vault_id>/molecules/

Creates a new molecule.

 

Note: this operation is not permitted in registration vaults. Creation of new molecules in registration vaults must be accomplished using POST batch.

 

Allowed JSON keys for molecules:

class

Optional. If present, must be “molecule”

 
smiles
cxsmiles
iupac_name
molfile
structure

Only one of these fields can be present. “structure” accepts SMILES strings, IUPAC names, or Molfiles as values

For molfiles, replace all new lines with \n (JSON requirement)

 
name

String (Required)
description

String
synonyms

An array of strings
udfs (user defined fields)

{<udf_name>: <udf_value>, ... }
projects

An array of project ids and/or names (Required)

 
collections

An array of project ids and/or names

Update

 

PUT /api/v1/vaults/<vault_id>/molecules/id

Updates an existing molecule. 

 

See Create for valid fields.  Fields not specified in the JSON are not changed.

To delete a molecule, simply submit with an empty projects array.

 

Note that the ID for the molecule is specified as part of the URL, not in the JSON (the JSON can contain an ID field as long as its value matches the URL).

 

Notes on how particular fields are processed:

name

If this field is supplied, the old name is automatically added as a synonym. To delete a molecule name, you must exclude it from the list of synonyms. Names cannot be changed in registration vaults.

 
synonyms

If supplied, the list of synonyms replaces the existing list

 
udfs

Only fields explicitly mentioned will be changed. A user-defined field can be removed by using the value null (no quotes).

Returns:

{
  "message": "Object has been removed from all projects, so it has been deleted"
}

(Note: this is only possible in a "non-registration" vault; the majority of vaults are so called "registration" vaults. To be able to delete a molecule in the latter, you have to do this on the batch level; review this API related article. )
