Differences between API and python library for hint module

[andrewsu]

When searching for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the API and the python hint module return different results. Qian Zhu from Link Brokers says (and I agree) that the API results are better than the python module. More details below...

API: https://geneanalysis.ncats.io/explorer_api/v1/hint?q=amyotrophic%20lateral%20sclerosis:

From python module:

!pip install git+https://github.com/biothings/biothings_explorer.git@call-apis-new

from biothings_explorer.query.predict import Predict
from biothings_explorer.hint import Hint
import nest_asyncio
nest_asyncio.apply()
import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore") 

ht = Hint()
node = ht.query("amyotrophic lateral sclerosis")['Disease']
node

produces:
