KEGG API

healthy 3,135 Subscribers

The KEGG molecular database as an API, powered by the official KEGG REST service. KEGG (the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) links genomes, chemistry and disease. Fetch any KEGG entry parsed to JSON — a metabolic compound, KEGG Orthology group (KO), enzyme (EC number), reaction, module, drug, disease, glycan, gene or pathway map; search any KEGG database by name; list a database's entries; cross-link entries between databases (a gene to its pathways, a pathway to its compounds, an enzyme to its reactions); and convert KEGG identifiers to and from outside namespaces (NCBI Gene/Protein, UniProt, ChEBI, PubChem). Ideal for systems-biology and metabolomics pipelines, enzyme and orthology mapping, drug and disease research, gene-to-pathway annotation and bioinformatics id conversion. KEGG ids are letter-prefixed (C compound, K orthology, D drug, H disease, M module, R reaction, G glycan) or organism-coded (hsa human, eco E. coli).

Chemistry API — oanor API marketplace

Chemistry API

Chemical compound data as an API, powered by NIH PubChem (>100 million compounds). Look up any compound by common name, PubChem CID or SMILES and get its molecular formula, molecular and exact mass, IUPAC name, canonical SMILES, InChI and InChIKey, plus physicochemical properties (XLogP, TPSA, formal charge, hydrogen-bond donor/acceptor counts, rotatable bonds, heavy-atom count). List a compound's synonyms and trade/registry names, or resolve a name to PubChem CIDs. Ideal for cheminformatics, lab software, education, drug-discovery tooling and scientific data pipelines.

Caffeine Calculator API — oanor API marketplace

Caffeine Calculator API

Caffeine metabolism maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically with a first-order (exponential) decay model. The level endpoint computes how much caffeine remains in the body after a given time from a dose and a half-life (about 5 hours by default), as milligrams and a percentage, and how long until it falls to a chosen threshold. The timeline endpoint returns an hour-by-hour decay curve and the time until caffeine is "sleep safe" — below a threshold (50 mg by default) — handy for working out a coffee cut-off before bed. The sources endpoint gives the typical caffeine content of common drinks (brewed coffee, espresso, tea, energy drinks, cola and more) for a single drink, or totals a list such as two coffees and a cola. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. This is informational only: real caffeine half-life varies widely between people (roughly 3–7 hours, and much longer in pregnancy or with certain medications) — it is not medical advice. Ideal for coffee, sleep and wellbeing apps, energy-drink and habit trackers, and quantified-self tools. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is caffeine pharmacokinetics; for a drug reference database use a drug API.

Reactome API — oanor API marketplace

Reactome API

The Reactome pathway knowledgebase as an API — the open, peer-reviewed database of biological pathways and reactions, powered by the official Reactome ContentService. Search the curated archive of pathways, reactions and molecules; read any entity by its Reactome stable id (a pathway, reaction, complex or protein: name, type, species, compartments, summary and disease flag); list the events (sub-pathways and reactions) contained in a pathway; list the molecules participating in a pathway or reaction with their reference identifiers; get the top-level pathways for any model organism; map a UniProt protein to the pathways it takes part in; and list the supported species. Covers human and 15+ model organisms across metabolism, signal transduction, cell cycle, immune system, disease and more. Ideal for systems-biology and bioinformatics pipelines, pathway-enrichment and drug-target tools, biomedical research apps, teaching resources and life-science chatbots.

DNA Melting Temperature API — oanor API marketplace

DNA Melting Temperature API

DNA-oligo and PCR-primer maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The tm endpoint computes the melting temperature of a primer sequence three ways: the Wallace rule 2·(A+T) + 4·(G+C) for short oligos up to 13 nt, the Marmur–Wallace GC formula 64.9 + 41·(nGC − 16.4)/N for longer ones, and the salt-adjusted 81.5 + 0.41·%GC − 675/N + 16.6·log10[Na+] for a given sodium concentration, and recommends the right method for the length — an eight-base ATGCATGC melts at 24 °C by Wallace, a 20-base 50 %-GC primer at about 51.8 °C by Marmur. The gc-content endpoint reports the GC and AT percentages, the per-base counts and the single-stranded molecular weight. The reverse-complement endpoint returns the complement, the reverse and the reverse complement of a strand. Sequences use A/C/G/T (case-insensitive, whitespace ignored) and [Na+] is in mol/L. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for molecular-biology, biotech, PCR, primer-design, bioinformatics and lab-automation app developers, oligo and primer calculators, and LIMS software. Estimation formulas for primer design, not a substitute for nearest-neighbour thermodynamics. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is oligo melting temperature; for population-genetics allele frequencies use a genetics API.
