Is this skill free for commercial use?

No, the KEGG API is strictly available only for academic use by academic users. Commercial use requires a separate license from the KEGG organization.

What data formats can I retrieve using this skill?

You can retrieve biological data in various formats including FASTA (amino acid and nucleotide), MOL, KGML (XML), JSON, and PNG images for pathway maps.

Can I search for specific drugs or diseases?

Yes, the skill supports searching the KEGG Drug and Disease databases by keyword, molecular weight, or chemical formula.

How many entries can I fetch at once?

Following KEGG API limitations, most operations allow up to 10 entries per request, though specific formats like images or JSON are limited to one entry at a time.

Does it support ID mapping to external databases?

Yes, the skill includes built-in conversion functions for mapping identifiers between KEGG and external databases like NCBI GeneID, UniProt, and PubChem.

数据科学与机器学习

Facilitates direct REST API access to the KEGG database for bioinformatics research, pathway analysis, and gene mapping.

关于

This skill empowers researchers and developers to programmatically interact with the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) within Claude Code. It provides a robust set of Python helpers for querying pathways, genes, compounds, and enzymes across thousands of organisms. By automating complex REST API calls, the skill streamlines workflows for metabolic pathway analysis, drug-drug interaction checks, and cross-database identifier conversion (e.g., mapping KEGG IDs to UniProt or NCBI), making it an essential tool for academic bioinformatics and molecular biology projects.
