The PRIDE Archive API provides a Restful entry point to retrieve all data from PRIDE Archive database. The API provides hyperlinks the clients can follow to navigate and search in the resource. Just like a human user of a regular website, who knows the initial URL of a website and then follows hyperlinks to navigate through the site.

A simple call to PRIDE Archive API docs will provide all the entry points in the web service:

http

GET api-docs HTTP/1.1
Host: www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/ws/archive/
Accept: application/json

curl

curl -i http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/ws/archive/api-docs -H 'Accept: application/json'

python-requests

requests.get('http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/ws/archive/api-docs', headers={'Accept': 'application/json'})
