Direct interface

To enable programmatic access to the PolarProtPred server, a direct interface was created with the following functions and links.

A functional template python script can be downloaded from here.

Submit

Starts the prediction on a consecutive amino acid chain. It returns with the current job's @JOBID, which can be used later to retrieve the result. An @ID (FASTA header) and a sequence (@SEQ) has to be provided. In order to reduce the possibility of errors, please provide simple IDs for the sequences and try to avoid special characters like '|@&/', white-spaces, etc..

Poll

Get the current status of the submitted job, by its @JOBID

http://polarprotpred.ttk.hu/direct/poll=JOBID

The possible statuses are:

• Scheduled: the job is currently scheduled in the grid system
• Running: the job is running
• Finished: the job is finished, the results can be retrieved
• Error: PolarProtPred encountered an error while running. This may be caused by badly format input, please check.
• Invalid: the system cannot find the jobid, some error occurred internally

Result

Get the result of the submitted job, by its @JOBID:

• in tab-delimited format: http://polarprotpred.ttk.hu/direct/result/JOBID/tab
• in XML format: http://polarprotpred.ttk.hu/direct/result/JOBID/xml
