Responses are retrieved as JSON formatted data. Therefore, fields can be queried by key:

>>> tfbs_responses = gc.get_tfbs('BRCA1')
  >>> tfbs_responses[0]['result'][0]['tfName']
  'E2F4'

>>> ```transcript_responses = gc.get_transcript('BRCA1')
>>> 'Number of transcripts: %d' % (len(transcript_responses[0]['result']))
'Number of transcripts: 27'
>>> for tfbs_response in gc.get_tfbs('BRCA1,BRCA2,LDLR'):
... print('Number of TFBS for "%s": %d' % (tfbs_response['id'], len(tfbs_response['result'])))
'Number of TFBS for "BRCA1": 175'
'Number of TFBS for "BRCA2": 43'
'Number of TFBS for "LDLR": 141'

Data can be accessed specifying comma-separated IDs or a list of IDs:

>>> tfbs_responses = gc.get_tfbs('BRCA1')

>>> len(tfbs_responses)

1
>>> tfbs_responses = gc.get_tfbs('BRCA1,BRCA2')

>>> len(tfbs_responses)

2
>>> tfbs_responses = gc.get_tfbs(['BRCA1', 'BRCA2'])

>>> len(tfbs_responses)

2

If there is an available resource, but there is not an available method in this python package, the CellBaseClient can be used to create the URL of interest and query the RESTful service:

>>> tfbs_responses = cbc.get(category='feature', subcategory='gene', query_id='BRCA1', resource='tfbs')

>>> tfbs_responses[0]['result'][0]['tfName']

'E2F4'

Optional filters and extra options can be added as key-value parameters (value can be a comma-separated string or a list):

>>> tfbs_responses = gc.get_tfbs('BRCA1')

>>> len(res[0]['result'])

175
>>> tfbs_responses = gc.get_tfbs('BRCA1', include='name,id')

>>> len(res[0]['result'])

175
>>> tfbs_responses = gc.get_tfbs('BRCA1', include = ['name', 'id'])

>>> len(res[0]['result'])

175
>>> tfbs_responses = gc.get_tfbs('BRCA1', limit=100)

>>> len(res[0]['result'])

100
>>> tfbs_responses = gc.get_tfbs('BRCA1', skip=100)

>>> len(res[0]['result'])

75

What can I ask for?

The best way to know which data can be retrieved for each client is either checking out the RESTful web services section of the CellBase Wiki or the CellBase web services
