Returns a data.frame with a ChEBI entity ID (chebiid), a ChEBI entity name (chebiasciiname), a search score (searchscore) and stars (stars) using the SOAP protocol: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/webServices.do

Usage

get_chebiid(
  query,
  from = c("all", "chebi id", "chebi name", "definition", "name", "iupac name",
    "citations", "registry numbers", "manual xrefs", "automatic xrefs", "formula",
    "mass", "monoisotopic mass", "charge", "inchi", "inchikey", "smiles", "species"),
  match = c("all", "best", "first", "ask", "na"),
  max_res = 200,
  stars = c("all", "two only", "three only"),
  verbose = getOption("verbose"),
  ...
)

Arguments

query

character; search term.

from

character; type of input. "all" searches all types and "name" searches all names. Other options include 'chebi id', 'chebi name', 'definition', 'iupac name', 'citations', 'registry numbers', 'manual xrefs', 'automatic xrefs', 'formula', 'mass', 'monoisotopic mass','charge', 'inchi', 'inchikey', 'smiles', and 'species'

match

character; How should multiple hits be handled?, "all" all matches are returned, "best" the best matching (by the ChEBI searchscore) is returned, "ask" enters an interactive mode and the user is asked for input, "na" returns NA if multiple hits are found.

max_res

integer; maximum number of results to be retrieved from the web service

stars

character; "three only" restricts results to those manualy annotated by the ChEBI team.

verbose

logical; should a verbose output be printed on the console?

...

currently unused

Value

returns a list of data.frames containing a chebiid, a chebiasciiname, a searchscore and stars if matches were found. If not, data.frame(NA) is returned
