description: Submit compact ChEBI 2.0 API requests for chemical search, compound lookup, ontology traversal, and structure metadata. Use when a user wants concise ChEBI summaries
Operating rules
- Use
scripts/rest_request.py for all ChEBI calls.
- Use
base_url=https://www.ebi.ac.uk.
- Prefer the documented public routes under
chebi/backend/api/public/.
- Start with
es_search/ for free-text lookup and use compound/<CHEBI:id>/ for targeted records.
- Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on older tool output.
Execution behavior
- Return concise markdown summaries from the script JSON by default.
- Return raw JSON only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output.
- Prefer these paths:
chebi/backend/api/public/es_search/, chebi/backend/api/public/compound/<CHEBI:id>/, and ontology child or parent routes.
Input
- Read one JSON object from stdin.
- Required fields:
base_url, path
- Optional fields:
method, params, headers, json_body, form_body, record_path, response_format, max_items, max_depth, timeout_sec, save_raw, raw_output_path
- Common ChEBI patterns:
{"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk","path":"chebi/backend/api/public/es_search/","params":{"query":"caffeine","size":10},"record_path":"results","max_items":10}{"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk","path":"chebi/backend/api/public/compound/CHEBI:27732/"}{"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk","path":"chebi/backend/api/public/ontology/children/CHEBI:27732/"}
Output
- Success returns
ok, source, path, method, status_code, warnings, and either compact records or a compact summary.
- Use
raw_output_path when save_raw=true.
- Failure returns
ok=false with error.code and error.message.
Execution
echo '{"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk","path":"chebi/backend/api/public/es_search/","params":{"query":"caffeine","size":10},"record_path":"results","max_items":10}' | python scripts/rest_request.py
References
- No additional runtime references are required; keep the import package limited to this file and
scripts/rest_request.py.
