KEGG Database

Overview

KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) is a comprehensive bioinformatics resource for biological pathway analysis and molecular interaction networks.

Important: KEGG API is made available only for academic use by academic users; non-academic use needs a commercial license (via Pathway Solutions). KEGG asks clients to stay at or below 3 API calls per second and blocks clients that exceed it, so the helpers in scripts/kegg_api.py throttle themselves.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when querying pathways, genes, compounds, enzymes, diseases, and drugs across multiple organisms using KEGG's REST API.
