Query the local FooDB database for compound information

Usage

foodb_query(query, from = "name", verbose = getOption("verbose"))

Arguments

query

character; a vector of compound identifiers to query.

from

character; the type of identifier provided in `query`. Allowed values are: "id", "public_id", "name".

verbose

logical; should verbose messages be printed to the console?

Value

A nested list of fields for each compound query, with available information from the FooDB database. If a query does not match any compound in the database, the corresponding output will be `NA`.

Note

When using ID types not supported by foodb_query() (e.g., CAS number or InChIKey), first convert them to a supported ID type using foodb_convert() before querying with foodb_query().

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# single query
foodb_query("Biotin")

# multiple queries
foodb_query(c("Biotin", "Folic acid"))
} # }
