Introduction
The Web Services API for SmallWorld Documentation is found in Section 6.3 of the SmallWorld version 5.6.2 manual.
Here are some simple examples.
API Routes
/search/maps
List all available databases (map files).
curl "https://sw.docking.org/search/maps"
/search/view
View the results of a search.
Access the results of a search either using the a hit-list id or by using the query parameters to start a new search automatically.
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
id | integer | Hit List id |
smi | array | Query SMILES/SMARTS strings |
db | string | Database name |
fmt | string | Format of results: tsv,csv |
start | integer | Number of hits returned starting from this index |
length | integer | Number of total hits returned |
scores | string | Scoring function(s) to use |
top | integer | Only collect this many (top) results, this option allows more resource efficient searches |
async | boolean | Start new searches asynchronously or not (returns right away) or wait until timeout for search to run (default) |
dist | string | Maximum Anonymous Distance |
sdist | string | Maximum Scored Distance |
tdn | string | Terminal Down Bounds |
tup | string | Terminal Up Bounds |
rdn | string | Ring Down Bounds |
rup | string | Ring Up Bounds |
ldn | string | Linker Down Bounds |
lup | string | Linker Up Bounds |
maj | string | Major Transmutation Bounds (Aligned Atom Scores only) |
min | string | Minor Transmutation Bounds (Aligned Atom Scores only) |
sub | string | Substitution Bounds (Aligned Atom Scores only) |
hyb | string | Hybridisation Bounds (Aligned Atom Scores only) |
ms | string | Interpret a single SMILES query with multiple components as a multi-source (ms) search. |
Examples
/search/view
Basic Usage
- Search of similar entries to benzene in ZINC-All-22Q2-1.6B
curl "https://sw.docking.org/search/view?smi=c1ccccc1&db=ZINC-All-22Q2-1.6B"
- Search of similar entries to pyridine in ZINC-All-22Q2-1.6B. Display in TSV. Show results from 0 to 50
curl "https://sw.docking.org/search/view?smi=c1ccccc1&db=ZINC-All-22Q2-1.6B&fmt=tsv&start=0&length=50"
Advanced Usage
Multi-Start Search
- Search of similar entries to either benzene or the chlorobenzene in ZINC-All-22Q2-1.6B. Display in TSV. Only show top 20 results.
curl "https://sw.docking.org/search/view?smi=c1ccccc1&smi=Clc1ccccc1&db=ZINC-All-22Q2-1.6B&fmt=tsv&length=30&top=20"
- Search of similar entries to either benzene or the chlorobenzene in ZINC-All-22Q2-1.6B. Tagging which molecule the similarity is closest to. Display in TSV. Display 30 results
curl "https://sw.docking.org/search/view?smi=c1ccccc1%20benzene&smi=Clc1ccccc1%20chlorobenzene&db=ZINC-All-22Q2-1.6B&fmt=tsv&length=30"
- Search of similar entries of 12 different molecules in ZINC-All-22Q2-1.6B.
curl 'https://sw.docking.org/search/view?smi=c1ccccc1%20ONE&smi=Clc1ccccc1%20TWO&smi=C1=CC=C2C(=C1)C(=C(N2)O)C3=NC4=CC=CC=C4C3=O%20Three&smi=Oc3c(N=Nc1ccc(Br)cc1S(O)(=O)=O)c(S(O)(=O)=O)cc4cc(S(O)(=O)=O)c(N=Nc2ccc(Br)cc2S(O)(=O)=O)c(O)c34%20FOUR&smi=Nc5c(N=Nc4ccc(c3ccc(N=Nc2cc(S(O)(=O)=O)c1ccccc1c2N)cc3)cc4)cc(S(O)(=O)=O)c6ccccc56%20FIVE&smi=OC(=O)c1ccccc1C(c2cc(I)c(O)c(I)c2)=c3cc(I)c(=O)c(I)c3%20SIX&smi=Oc2cc(S(O)(=O)=O)c1ccccc1c2N=Nc4ccc3ccccc3c4O%20SEVEN&smi=Oc2ccc1ccccc1c2N=Nc3c(O)cc(S(O)(=O)=O)c4ccccc34%20Eight&smi=Cn1cnc2c1c(=O)n(c(=O)n2C)C%20NINE&smi=CCCCCCC(Oc3ccc(S(=O)(=O)c2ccc(OCc1ccccc1)cc2)cc3)C(O)=O%20TEN&smi=OC(=O)COc3ccc(N=Nc2ccc1cc(Br)ccc1c2O)cc3%20Eleven&smi=C1=CC(=C(C=C1C2=C(C(=O)C3=C(C=C(C=C3O2)O)O)O)O)O%20Twelve&db=ZINC-All-22Q2-1.6B&fmt=tsv&length=30'
Asynchronous Searching
- Search of similar entries to benzene in ZINC-All-22Q2-1.6B. Show 3 results that are within distance 1~2. Use an asynchronous query.
curl "https://sw.docking.org/search/view?smi=c1ccccc1&db=ZINC-All-22Q2-1.6B&start=0&length=2&dist=1-2&async=true" | jq
- When running asynchronous searches it is useful to use the JSON output as this reports what the search is doing in the background
- After calling once the server will return right away and you will see something like:
{ "draw": 0, "recordsTotal": 0, "recordsFiltered": 0, "status": { "dist": 0, "state": "RUNNING", "restarts": 0, "nodeHits": 0, "nodeVisit": 0, "edgeVisit": 0, "elapTime": 0, "runTime": 0, "wavefront": 0 }, "data": [] }
- The search will tell you when it has finished and be marked as DONE:
{ "draw": 0, "recordsTotal": 19195, "recordsFiltered": 19046, "status": { "dist": 2, "state": "DONE", "restarts": 6, "nodeHits": 35, "nodeVisit": 41, "edgeVisit": 46, "elapTime": 47685, "runTime": 2529, "wavefront": 0 }, "data": [ [ { "id": "ZINC000078108232", "qryMappedSmiles": "[CH:1]1=[CH:2][CH:3]=[CH:4][CH:5]=[CH:6]1", "hitMappedSmiles": "[CH2:1]=[CH:2]/[CH:3]=[CH:4]\\[CH:5]=[CH2:6]", "anonIdx": "B5R0.2", "mf": "C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>8</sub>", "mw": "80.128", "atomMap": [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ], "atomScore": [ 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2 ], "hitSmiles": "C=C\\C=C/C=C ZINC000078108232", "qrySmiles": "c1ccccc1" }, 0.0, 0.07692307692307693, 1, 1 ], [ { "id": "ZINC000001592588", "qryMappedSmiles": "[CH:1]1=[CH:2][CH:3]=[CH:4][CH:5]=[CH:6]1", "hitMappedSmiles": "[CH2:1]=[CH:2]/[CH:3]=[CH:4]/[CH:5]=[CH2:6]", "anonIdx": "B5R0.2", "mf": "C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>8</sub>", "mw": "80.128", "atomMap": [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ], "atomScore": [ 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2 ], "hitSmiles": "C=C\\C=C\\C=C ZINC000001592588", "qrySmiles": "c1ccccc1" }, 0.0, 0.07692307692307693, 1, 1 ] ] }
