Query CATH Daily Snapshots #3

Open senditu opened 5 years ago

senditu commented 5 years ago

Is there a way to query the daily snapshot versions of CATH instead of a specific release?

E.g.: http://www.cathdb.info/version/daily/api/rest/superfamily ?

Thanks for getting in touch.

At the moment, information on the daily release is only available via the FTP downloads:

ftp://orengoftp.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/cath/releases/daily-release/

Since the daily release contains a restricted set of information compared to a full release, we would need to write new API endpoints for daily. We have been considering this though - what queries did you have in mind?

Thank you for the quick response. I realize this information may not be available, so please don't feel any pressure to make any changes, but my main hope is to obtain some of the latest structural data for unreleased superfamilies & domains.

I'm currently working on training a model based off CATH superfamilies & domains, and having the most up-to-date data would be helpful, even if it were to be revised or retracted later. Right now, I'm making use of the pymol superposition files for the superfamilies, and some of the domain PDB's.

Thank you :)
