description: Submit compact STRING API requests for network, interaction partner, and enrichment endpoints. Use when a user wants concise STRING summaries
Operating rules
- Use
scripts/rest_request.py for all STRING API calls.
- Use
base_url=https://string-db.org/api/json.
- Use
method=POST with form_body for STRING endpoints.
- Include
caller_identity in form_body; keep it stable within a session when possible.
- The script accepts
max_items; for network and interaction_partners, start with API limit=10 and max_items=10.
- For
enrichment, summarize the top 5 to 10 rows unless the user asks for more.
- Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on prior 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:
network, interaction_partners, and enrichment.
- For long identifier lists, keep the request small and paged; if full results are needed, use
save_raw=true.
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 STRING patterns:
{"base_url":"https://string-db.org/api/json","path":"network","method":"POST","form_body":{"identifiers":"TP53","species":9606,"caller_identity":"chatgpt-skill","limit":10},"max_items":10}{"base_url":"https://string-db.org/api/json","path":"interaction_partners","method":"POST","form_body":{"identifier":"TP53","species":9606,"caller_identity":"chatgpt-skill","limit":10},"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://string-db.org/api/json","path":"network","method":"POST","form_body":{"identifiers":"TP53","species":9606,"caller_identity":"chatgpt-skill","limit":10},"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.
