From rcsb-api: Python Toolkit for Streamlining Access to RCSB Protein Data Bank APIs PDB-IHM: A System for Deposition, Curation, Validation, and Dissemination of Integrative Structures

The rcsb-api Python software package can be used for accessing RCSB.org Application Programming Interface (API) services. This package broadens access to RCSB.org features and data.

The package provides access to search and data API services, which are two of the main APIs that power RCSB.org.

Users can perform all the common types of Advanced Search queries on RCSB.org through a Pythonic interface. Users can also programmatically access and retrieve all metadata associated with 3D biostructures from RCSB.org via Python.
