Query VESPUCCI¶
VESPUCCI is accessible via the COMPASS GraphQL interface that has been specifically developed to facilitate data retrivial and analysis of gene expression compendia built with the COMMAND>_ technology. You have four options to query VESPUCCI:
We recomend to use either option 2 or 3 unless you need to use the GraphQL endpoint specifically. Both the Python and R packages provide the same options as the GraphQL endpoint but with all the expressiveness of a higher order programming language. Option 4 is not meant for data analysis but to showcase how to create tools on top of pyCOMPASS, rCOMPASS or COMPASS directly.
Use the GraphQL endpoint¶
GraphQL is an open-source data query and manipulation language for APIs, and a runtime for fulfilling queries with existing data. The GraphQL interface to access VESPUCCI is COMPASS. The GraphQL endpoint is available at http://vespucci.fmach.it/compass.
