When to Use

You need to search UniProtKB with Lucene-style queries (e.g., by gene name, organism, reviewed status).
You want to fetch the full details of a specific protein entry by UniProt accession (e.g., P12345).
You need to map identifiers between databases (e.g., gene names, Ensembl IDs, RefSeq IDs ↔ UniProt accessions).
You are building pipelines that require automated protein annotation retrieval in JSON/TSV/FASTA formats.
You need a lightweight client that talks directly to UniProt’s REST API without additional SDKs.

Key Features

Protein search via UniProtKB REST endpoint using Lucene query syntax.
Entry retrieval by accession with selectable output formats.
Identifier mapping between supported source/target databases using UniProt ID mapping service.
Format control (default json) for consistent downstream parsing.
