Check Your Imported Modules

Make sure you have imported the requests and json module before proceeding with this guide.

Parse Text for Ontology Terms

As with all our previous API calls, we will need to make a body variable to forward with our request. https://YOUR_LAYAR_ENVIRONMENT/layar/swagger-ui.html will allow you to look up values that can be used in the request. The q value, denotes the term you are looking for and rows determines how many results are returned.

body = {
       'q' = 'TERM TO SEARCH FOR',
       'rows' = 50
       }

Perform the Search

As with all API calls in Python we will be using requests to do a POST. Our header authenticating and dictating which data providers we want to look at. While the body holds the query.

termSearchUri = f'{envUrl}/layar/ontologyTerm/search'

response = requests.post(termSearchUri,
                         headers = header,
                         json = body
                        )
pprint(response) #optional
