This repository maintains a set of biomedical knowledgebase APIs built with the BioThings SDK. These APIs are either the Knowledgebase APIs built for the Translator Project or the "pending" APIs to be integrated into the official BioThings APIs (e.g. MyGene.info, MyVariant.info, MyChem.info, MyDisease.info etc.)

The list of Translator-associated knowledgebase APIs are hosted at: https://biothings.ncats.io.

There are additional APIs are hosted at https://pending.biothings.io.

Knowledgebase APIs for the Translator Project

Each knowledgebase API is created as a "data plugin" (see examples under plugins folder). The BioThings SDK package will then process the data plugin and turn it into a hosted "BioThings API". You can follow the tutorial of the data plugin for more details.

How to add a new API

Our internal developement team will handle the process of adding a new data plugin and deploying it as a new API. For our internal developers, please follow this documentation

How to update data for an existing API

For external collaborators who have submitted their "data plugins" as new APIs, you can follow this workflow to request a update of your data:

https://github.com/biothings/biothings_explorer/blob/main/docs/README-maintaining-a-data-source.md

The documentation is maintained at the biothings_explorer repository, as each knowledgebase API will be integrated into the BioThings Explorer application become a Translator's standard KP (Knowledge Provider) API.
