This page documents BioPortal Web Service signatures. The list below contains commonly accessed BioPortal Web services and is not intended to be an exhaustive list. If a feature you are interested in is not in the list below, please contact [mailto:support@bioontology.org BioPortal Support] to request the service or ask for more details on the full list of services.
+
NCBO BioPortal v4.0 REST services are documented at: http://data.bioontology.org/documentation
 
 
The '''prefix''' for all production service URLs in the table below is http://rest.bioontology.org/bioportal/
 
 
 
* '''Note''': All NCBO REST web service calls MUST append a user identification query parameter with the pattern of "email=UserEmail" (note some clients may need to use URL encoding). For example, email=example@example.org or email=example%40example.org as an encoded email. Please start adding the user identification URL parameter to all your web service invocations. Later in 2010, we may start challenging REST service calls that do not have this parameter. 
 
 
 
* '''Note''': ''Signatures for BioPortal services have changed in BioPortal 2.0.4 release on January 13th, 2009. This page has the new service URLs. If you have any questions, please contact [mailto:support@bioontology.org BioPortal Support].''

= Services to access ontology views and ontology view versions =
 
 
 
Since all the views on ontologies are ontologies themselves all the services that work on ontologies do
 
work for ontology views also with the same signature.
 
 
 
For example to get a specific ontology view based on a version id would be possible by using the signature:
 
 
 
'''./ontologies/download/{view version id}?email={email_address}'''
 
 
 
or for getting all view versions of a virtual view can be achieved called using the signature:
 
 
 
'''./ontologies/versions/{view id}?email={email_address}'''
 
 
 
However, there are a couple of services that are special for views:
 
 
 
== List all the latest version of views ==
 
'''NOTE''': ''To be released in BioPortal version 2.2''
 
* '''Signature''': ./views?email={email_address}
 
* '''Example''': http://rest.bioontology.org/bioportal/views?email=example@example.org
 
 
 
== Get all versions of views from a virtual ontology id ==
 
'''NOTE''': ''To be released in BioPortal version 2.2''
 
* '''Description''': Returns all versions of views defined on the latest version a virtual ontology, grouped by virtual view ids.
 
* '''Signature''': ./views/versions/{ontology id}?email={email_address}
 
* '''Example''': http://rest.bioontology.org/bioportal/views/versions/1104?email=example@example.org
 
 
 
= Search services =
 
 
 
==  Search BioPortal ==
 
* '''Signature''': ./search/{query}[?{optional args}]&email={email_address}
 
* '''Alt Signature''': ./search/?query={uri-encoded query}[&{optional args}]&email={email_address}
 
* '''Example''': http://rest.bioontology.org/bioportal/search/Gene?email=example@example.org
 
* You can use multiple query terms, separated by a space, for example: [http://rest.bioontology.org/bioportal/search/lung%20disease http://rest.bioontology.org/bioportal/search/lung disease?email=example@example.org]
 
* '''Optional arguments:'''
 
** ontologyids=<ontologyid>,<ontologyid>… - limits the search to specific ontologies (default: all ontologies)
 
** isexactmatch=[1/0] – match the entire concept name (default: 0)
 
** includeproperties=[1/0] – include attributes in the search (default: 0)
 
** pagesize=<pagesize> - the number of results to display in a single request (default: all)
 
** pagenum=<pagenum> - the page number to display (pages are calculated using <total results>/<pagesize>) (default: 1)
 
** maxnumhits=<maxnumhits> - the maximum number of top matching results to return (default: 1000)
 
** subtreerootconceptid=<uri-encoded conceptid> - narrow the search to concepts residing in a sub-tree, where the "subtreerootconceptid" is the root node. This feature requires a SINGLE <ontologyid> passed in using the "onotlogyids" parameter.
 
** objecttypes=<class,individual,property> - limits the results returned to these types, multitple types can be included in the parameter, e.g. class,individual.
 
* '''Description:'''
 
The search attempts to match both partial and exact queries, giving more weight to exact matches. In single-word searches, the wildcard character (*) is automatically appended to the end of the word. For example, searching for "lun" would return all concepts whose name contains a word that begins with "lun" (i.e. "Lung", "Murine Lunate Bone", "Base of the Lung", etc).
 
 
 
In phrase searches (multiple words), the wildcard character is appended to the end of each word. For example, searching for "cut mela" would return all concepts whose name contains a word starting with "cut", followed by any word that begins with "mela" (i.e. "Cutaneous Melanoma", "Metastatic Non-Cutaneous Melanoma", "Cutaneous Melanoma Clinical TNM Finding", etc).

= Term services =
 
(formerly referred to as Concept services)
 
 
 
==  Get term, including its properties, subclasses, and superclasses ==
 
* '''Signature''': ./concepts/{ontology version id}/{concept id}?email={email_address}
 
* '''Alt Signature''': ./concepts/{ontology version id}?conceptid={uri-encoded concept id}&email={email_address}
 
* '''Virtual Signature''' (always uses most recent version of the ontology): ./virtual/ontology/{ontology virtual id}/{concept id}
 
* '''Alt Virtual Signature''' (always uses most recent version of the ontology): ./virtual/ontology/{ontology virtual id}?conceptid={uri-encoded concept id}
 
**To ensure that the Web service works within your application, use the Alt signature as some ontologies may contain terms where the concept id is a URI.  
 
* '''Optional arguments:'''
 
** light=[1/0] - when set to 1, returns the "light" version of XML with only a basic info for the concept and its immediate children
 
** norelations=[1/0] - when set to 1, returns only the requested term information (id, label, fullid, type, synonyms, definitions) without the "relations" map. This is useful when you need to quickly retrieve just the base information about a term.

==  Get all terms using the virtual ontology id ==
 
 
 
'''NOTE:''' 'Get all terms' service has changed. The new signature and examples are reflected below. See [[#Changes_to_the_Get_all_terms_service]] for more information.
 
 
 
* '''Signature''': ./virtual/ontology/{ontology id}/all?pagesize={pagesize}&pagenum={pagenum}&email={email_address}

** '''pagenum:''' An integer indicating which page of results to return.
 
 
 
== Changes to the Get all terms service ==
 
 
 
Starting in BioPortal 2.3.1 (released March 15, 2010), the 'Get all terms' service has changed to support speedier and more complete term retrieval. To support this, several changes to the response XML and service signature are being made. Please see the following notes to update your existing applications to support these changes.
 
 
 
* '''Examples''': A preview of the new service can be seen on the NCBO staging site:
 
** http://rest.bioontology.org/bioportal/concepts/40644/all?pagesize=50&pagenum=1
 
** http://rest.bioontology.org/bioportal/concepts/42431/all?pagesize=50&pagenum=500
 
 
 
* '''Signature'''
 
** '''New parameters:''' Previously, offset and limit were used to control pagination of results. These parameters have been replaced as follows:
 
*** '''pagesize:''' An integer limiting how many results will be returned on a single page (a 'page' is equivalent to a single call to the REST service)
 
*** '''pagenum:''' An integer indicating which page of results to return.
 
 
 
* '''Response''': The structure of the new 'Get all terms' response XML has been brought into line with other BioPortal REST term services. In addition, to assist in paging through result sets, 'page' metadata is provided. A list of classBeans is provided in the classBeanResultList element, which includes each classes' set of relations (examples of relations include SuperClass, SubClass, and rdfs:label). Please see the example below for a full demonstration of the new response.
