Metabolomics Spectrum Identifier Resolver

The Metabolomics Spectrum Identifier Resolver is a tool for the high resolution imaging of mass spectra from GNPS/MassIVE, MetaboLights, MS2LDA and MassBank for publications and other purposes. For example MassBank Record: AC000372 resolves in metalolomics-usi-visulation of AC000372.

MassBank RESTful API

A basic RESTful API with simple search functions is available:

• Search by SPLASH
• Search by InChIKey
• Search by a single block of InChIKey

An improved API is in development. Your use cases and ideas for enhancements are appreciated.
