Where items in [ square brackets ] are optional.

• resource is one of the 15 ZINC15:Resources. By far the most common are substances, catalogs and genes.
• format is one of the 12 ZINC15:Formats. If omitted, a web page is requested.
• properties is one or more of the ZINC15:properties. Not all properties make sense in all resource contexts. ZINC15:Examples are provided. There are sensible defaults for each resource, so the property specification may be omitted.
• variant is optionally one or more of the supported ZINC15:Variants.
• ZINC15:Page Controls are optional, and are used to qualify how a search is to be performed and formatted for the page.
• ZINC15:Constraints are optional, and may be qualified with ZINC15:Query operators

The use of the Webapi is illustrated with numerous ZINC15:examples.
