BACKGROUND
The MG-RAST API provides search capabilities and delivers organism and function data as well as raw or annotated sequence data via the web interface and its RESTful API. For casual users, however, RESTful APIs are hard to learn and work with.
RESULTS
We created the graphical MG-RAST API explorer to help researchers more easily build and export API queries; understand the data abstractions and indices available in MG-RAST; and use the results presented in-browser for exploration, development, and debugging.
CONCLUSIONS
The API explorer lowers the barrier to entry for occasional or first-time MG-RAST API users.
背景
MG-RAST API 通过其网络界面和其 RESTful API 提供搜索功能，并提供生物体和功能数据以及原始或注释序列数据。然而，对于普通用户来说，RESTful API 很难学习和使用。
结果
我们创建了图形化的 MG-RAST API 资源管理器，以帮助研究人员更轻松地构建和导出 API 查询；了解 MG-RAST 中可用的数据抽象和索引；并在浏览器中使用呈现的结果进行探索、开发和调试。
结论
API 资源管理器降低了偶尔或首次使用 MG-RAST API 用户的进入门槛。
