A ZeroPM R package
The goal of the cactusapi package is to provide a minimal and lightweight interface to the CACTUS Chemical Identifier Resolver API services.
The dependency of cactusapi is kept at a bare minimum: curl for handling the API requests.
cactusapi takes a single input and resolves it to either StdInChi,
InChI, StdInChIKey, InChIKey, SMILES, Names, or IUPAC_Name.
You can install the development version of cccapi from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
remotes::install_github("ZeroPM-H2020/cactusapi")This is a basic example which shows you how to get the (standard) InChI representation of caffeine:
library(cactusapi)
get_representation(
structure_identifier = "caffeine",
representation = "StdInChI"
)
#> [1] "InChI=1S/C8H10N4O2/c1-10-4-9-6-5(10)7(13)12(3)8(14)11(6)2/h4H,1-3H3"This R package was developed by the EnviData initiative at the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) as part of the project ZeroPM: Zero pollution of Persistent, Mobile substances. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101036756.
