Watch the Webinar: Streamlining Access to RCSB PDB APIs with Python

04/28 

Watch recordings of the webinar Streamlining Access to RCSB PDB APIs with Python

Visit PDB-101 to learn how to streamline access to RCSB PDB APIs with Python.

This webinar introduces and demonstrates usage of the rcsb-api Python package which enables researchers to easily interact with RCSB PDB Search and Data API services. Using this toolkit, users can seamlessly integrate search and data retrieval tasks into computational workflows for custom analyses.

After watching the videos featured in this course, you will be able to

• Automate advanced search and data retrieval from RCSB.org
• Learn the fundamentals of RCSB PDB’s Search and Data APIs and use-cases
• Use Python for searching and fetching macromolecular structure data from RCSB.org
• Integrate RCSB PDB APIs into data workflows using a simplified Python interface

This webinar accompanies the publication
