API Documentation Using DGIdb in your own applications

Introduction

The DGIdb API can be used to query for drug-gene interactions in your own applications through a simple JSON based interface.

All endpoints can be reached at: https://dgidb.org

Documentation for v1 of the API (deprecated) can be found here.

Endpoints available API method calls

Interactions

Search Interactions

The interactions endpoint can be used to return interactions for a given set of gene or drug names/symbols. It also allows you to filter returned interactions.

GET 
/api/v2/interactions.json?<parameters>

Note: While the preferred method for accessing this endpoint is a GET request, it will also accept POST requests to accommodate large gene lists if needed.

Accepted Parameters:
Parameter Description Example

Example Call:

Note: The following example would query DGIdb for interactions involving the genes FLT1, STK1, and FAKE. It will only show interactions reported by the source. TALC. 

https://dgidb.org/api/v2/interactions.json?genes=FLT1,MM1,FAKE&interaction_sources=TALC
Example Response:

The response will come back with three top level items:

matchedTerms will be a list containing a hash for each search term that you provided that we were able to map unambiguously to an Entrez gene. Each hash will contain your original search term, the Entrez long and full names that DGIdb matched them to as well as a list of categories that the given gene is in. Additionally, the hash will contain a list of drug interactions for the gene. This list includes interaction type information as well as the drug name and source that reported the interaction.

ambiguousTerms will be a list containing a hash of search terms that you provided that mapped to multiple Entrez genes. Each hash will contain your original search term, the Entrez long and full names of the potential math as well as a list of categories that the given gene is in. Additionally, the hash will contain a list of drug interactions for the gene. This list includes interaction type information as well as the drug name and source that reported the interaction.

unmatchedTerms will be a list of search terms you provided that we were unable to map any Entrez gene.

Responses response information

Formats

Currently, all API responses are provided only in JSON. If you are experimenting with the API in your browser and you want to improve the display for JSON output you use a JSON formatter such as this one.

Status Codes

The DGIdb API can respond to requests with a number of status codes. They are explained in the table below.

Code Meaning
200 Success. Your query was processed and the response contains the information that was requested.
400 Bad Request. Something about your request was malformed or incorrect. The response will contain an error message indicating what was wrong.
404 Resource Not Found. This indicates that you attempted to get a resource that doesn't exist.
50X Server Error. This means there was a server side error processing your request. An email will be automatically dispatched to the developer notifying them of the problem.

Sample Code get started using DGIdb in the language of your choice

Perl

A sample Perl application that interacts with DGIdb can be found on github.

Use the command line script to search for interactions FLT3 or EGFR, and limit to drugs that act as inhibitors:
EXECUTE EXAMPLE SCRIPT 

wget https://raw.github.com/genome/dgi-db/master/files/perl_example.pl
chmod +x perl_example.pl
./perl_example.pl --genes='FLT3,EGFR' --interaction_types='inhibitor'
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS


You may need to install the 'json' package from cpan before this script will work.
On a mac you can do the following:

First configure the 'cpan' tool: 

sudo cpan
Then at the 'cpan' prompt: 
get JSON
make JSON
install JSON
q

Python

A sample Python application that interacts with DGIdb can be found on github.

Use the command line script to search for interactions FLT3 or EGFR, and limit to drugs that act as inhibitors:
EXECUTE EXAMPLE SCRIPT 

wget https://raw.github.com/genome/dgi-db/master/files/python_example.py
chmod +x python_example.py
./python_example.py --genes='FLT3,EGFR' --interaction_types='inhibitor'
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

This example uses the 'requests' python library. Installing 'requests' is easiest with 'pip' which is one of the easiest and recommended ways to install Python packages.: 

sudo pip install requests
If you don't have pip, see the pip home-page.
or you can do this, 
wget https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py
sudo python get-pip.py

Ruby

A small Ruby client library, along with a short usage demo can be found on github.

Use the client library to search for interactions involving FLT3 or EGFR, only from trusted sources:
SAMPLE CODE 

client = DgidbApiClient.new
query_params = { source_trust_levels: 'Expert curated', genes: 'FLT3,EGFR' }
interaction_results = client.query(:interactions, query_params)
EXECUTE EXAMPLE SCRIPT 
wget https://raw.github.com/genome/dgi-db/master/files/ruby_example.rb
ruby ruby_example.rb

Shell
