Trying to use API

[ashepherd]

I'm trying to use the REST API with my API Key but am not finding the right endpoint possibly?

From the documentation (http://data.bioontology.org/documentation) it says the endpoint is at: /search?q={search query}

I tried GET http://ec2-52-23-64-194.compute-1.amazonaws.com/search?q=salinity&apikey=5eeadfbc-9673-4edd-aa82-78ebb26a289 but that provides HTML. I tried the 'format' parameter as format=json and format=xml which through a 500 response error. And format=jsonp returned HTML.

I also tried this as a POST, setting request headers: Authorization: apikey token=5eeadfbc-9673-4edd-aa82-78ebb26a289 Accept: application/json

But also got a 500 response code.

I think I might not have the endpoint right, possibly?

The help documentation says there are example REST API scripts here at this github repo, but I found some scripts here instead: https://github.com/ncbo/ncbo_rest_sample_code. It looks like the API does work at http://data.bioontology.org/search

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

I also tried setting the URL to: http://semanticportal.esipfed.org/search just in case that was the problem

I figured it out by looking at the annotator JSON link which adds the :8080 port to access the API.

This link works: http://semanticportal.esipfed.org:8080/search?apikey=5eeadfbc-9673-4edd-aa82-78ebb26a2891&q=CTD%20instrument

Suggest updating the documentation or fixing so that port 80 access can be redirected to :8080 if it's possible.

Updated the documentation to reflect the fact that the portal uses port 8080.
