Conversion#

Conversion API provides access to MINERVA’s ability convert between different systems biology network formats and to export of layouts to different graphical formats.

Conversion to systems biology formats#

List available formats#

• URL: /convert/
• Method: GET or POST
• Example:
• Output: List of input and output format identifiers which can be used as values for the sourceFormat and targetFormat parameters in other convert API calls

curl -X GET https://minerva-dev.lcsb.uni.lu/minerva/api/convert/

Convert network from an input format to an output format#

• URL: /convert/{sourceFormat}:{targetFormat}/
• Method: POST
• Parameters:
  • sourceFormat - input format (list of available formats be obtained from the /convert/ API)
  • targetFormat - output format (list of available formats be obtained from the /convert/ API)
• Body: the input file to be converted
• Example:

curl -X POST --data-binary @cell_designer.xml \
-H "Content-Type: text/plain" https://minerva-dev.lcsb.uni.lu/minerva/api/convert/CellDesigner_SBML:SBML

Conversion to image#

List available formats#

• URL: /convert/image/
• Method: GET or POST
• Output: List of input and output format identifiers which can be used as values for the sourceFormat and targetFormat parameters in other convert API calls
• Example:

curl -X GET https://minerva-dev.lcsb.uni.lu/minerva/api/convert/image/

Convert network from an input format to an output image#

• URL: /convert/image/{sourceFormat}:{targetFormat}/
• Method: POST
• Parameters:
  • sourceFormat - input format (list of available formats be obtained from the /convert/image/ API)
  • targetFormat - output format (list of available formats be obtained from the /convert/image/ API)
• Body: the input file to be converted
• Example:

curl -X POST --data-binary @cell_designer.xml -H "Content-Type: text/plain" \

Merging of maps#

This API call allows to merge few files into one. Layout of merged map files will be a simple matrix.

• URL: /convert/merge/{sourceFormat}:{targetFormat}/
• Method: POST
• Parameters:
  • sourceFormat - format of map files to be merged (list of available formats be obtained from the /convert/image/ API)
  • targetFormat - output format (list of available formats be obtained from the /convert/image/ API)
• Body: the input file with zipped maps. In the zipped folder files must be in maps subfolder.

curl -X POST --data-binary @cd-maps.zip  -H 'Content-Type: text/plain'  https://minerva-dev.lcsb.uni.lu/minerva/api/convert/merge/CellDesigner_SBML:CellDesigner_SBML
