REST API

Many functionalities of INDRA can be used via a REST API. This enables making use of INDRA’s knowledge sources and assembly capabilities in a RESTful, platform independent fashion. The REST service is meant to be used locally (on a single machine or local network) and is currently not offered as a public web service by the creators of INDRA.

Installation

The REST service requires the bottle package to be installed in addition to all the other requirements of INDRA.

Launching the REST service

The REST service can be launched by running api.py in the rest_api folder within indra.

Documentation

The specific end-points and input/output parameters offered by the REST API are documented in rest_api/docs/index.html, which is accessible locally within the indra folder.
