description: Submit compact ChEMBL API requests for activity, molecule, target, mechanism, and text-search endpoints. Use when a user wants concise ChEMBL summaries
Operating rules
- Use
scripts/rest_request.py for all ChEMBL API calls.
- Use
base_url=https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/api/data.
- The script accepts
max_items; for activity, mechanism, and text-search collections, start with API limit=10 and max_items=10.
- Single molecule or target lookups usually do not need
max_items.
- Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on older tool output.
- Treat displayed
... in tool previews as UI truncation, not literal request content.
Execution behavior
- Return concise markdown summaries from the script JSON by default.
- Return the script JSON verbatim only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output.
- Prefer these paths:
activity.json, molecule/<id>.json, target/<id>.json, mechanism.json, and molecule/search.json.
- Use
record_path to target list fields like activities, mechanisms, or molecules.
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 ChEMBL patterns:
{"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/api/data","path":"activity.json","params":{"molecule_chembl_id":"CHEMBL25","limit":10},"record_path":"activities","max_items":10}{"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/api/data","path":"molecule/CHEMBL25.json"}{"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/api/data","path":"molecule/search.json","params":{"q":"imatinib","limit":10},"record_path":"molecules","max_items":10}
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/chembl/api/data","path":"activity.json","params":{"molecule_chembl_id":"CHEMBL25","limit":10},"record_path":"activities","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.
