ZINC15:Syntax

The general form of a ZINC 15 api request is

http[s]://host/resource[.format[:columns][/variant][?page-view-controls | resource-constraints]

Where items in \[ square brackets \] are optional.

• host = zinc15.docking.org
• resource is one of the 15 ZINC15:Resources
• format is one of the 12 ZINC15:Formats. If omitted, a web page is requested.
• columns is one or more of the columns in the columns table below. Not all columns make sense in all resource contexts. Examples are provided. There are sensible defaults for each resource, so the column specification may be omitted.
• variant is optionally one or more of the variants in the variants table below
• page-view-controls is optionally one or more of those listed in the page-view-controls table, below.
• resource constraints is optionally one or more of those in the resource-constraints table, below.

Columns

The result contains the specified columns in the output. If the column is in the reference-table, it is specified without a table specfification, otherwise, the column specification must be of the form table.item.
