1
+ = Entrez
2
+
3
+ Entrez is a simple API for making HTTP requests to Entrez utilities (eutils: http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/).
4
+
5
+ == Usage
6
+
7
+ Entrez.efetch(<database>, parameters)
8
+
9
+ == Example
10
+
11
+ Entrez.efetch('snp', {id: '9268480', retmode: 'xml'})
12
+ will return an xml document with information about rs9268480.
13
+ It's up to you to parse the document.
14
+
15
+ == Email & Tool
16
+
17
+ NCBI (or wheover) requests that you supply the tool you are using and your email.
18
+ The Entrez gem uses 'ruby' as the tool.
19
+ Email is obtained from an environment variable ENTREZ_EMAIL on your computer.
20
+ I set mine in my ~/.bash_profile:
21
+ export ENTREZ_EMAIL='jared@redningja.com'
22
+
23
+ == What about EInfo, ESummary, EPost, ESearch, ELink, EGQuery, and ESpell?
24
+
25
+ For my purposes, I only needed EFetch.
26
+ But if you would like to contribute, please feel free.
27
+ After seeing the code, assuming you know how to submit requests to einfo et al,
28
+ It should be trivial to implement them here.
