CCTOP - Direct Interface

To enable programmatic access to the CCTOP 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://cctop.ttk.hu/direct/poll?hash=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: CCTOP 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://cctop.ttk.hu/direct/result/JOBID/tab
• in XML format: http://cctop.ttk.hu/direct/result/JOBID/xml
