Using the REST service

To see what REST calls you can make and how to format your queries, have a look at the on-line Swagger UI API documentation. Start either the Flask server (for local development), or Gunicorn for a live environment.

Once your WS is up and running point a web browser to http://localhost:5000/metabolights/ws/api/spec.html.

Please note that some of the functionality will only work if this is running on EMBL-EBI MetaboLights infrastructure.
