This webinar introduces and demonstrates usage of the rcsb-api Python package which enables researchers to easily interact with RCSB PDB Search and Data API services. Using this toolkit, users can seamlessly integrate search and data retrieval tasks into computational workflows for custom analyses.
Key Takeaways
This webinar will benefit researchers in bioinformatics, structural biology, and data science who want to
• Automate advanced search and data retrieval from RCSB.org
• Learn the fundamentals of RCSB PDB’s Search and Data APIs and use-cases
• Use Python for searching and fetching macromolecular structure data from RCSB.org
• Integrate RCSB PDB APIs into data workflows using a simplified Python interface
Video guide:
00:00 Introduction to RCSB.org APIs and the rcsb-api Python package
29:08 Hands-on demo of the Python toolkit using Google Colab Notebook
Presentation slides, links, and other materials are available on PDB-101 (pdb101.rcsb.org/train/training-events/apis-python)
