The current, latest version of the MolPort API is v3.0. To prevent broken experiences for people, we strongly recommend to upgrade your application to the latest API version. Please, visit MolPort API History of Changes for the latest changes in API interfaces and/or data structures.
MolPort API is implemented as REST interfaces. REST stands for Representational State Transfer. It relies on a stateless, client-server, cacheable communications. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is used as a lightweight data-interchange format.
MolPort JSON request generic form is specific for API interface. Please, check the API Documentation to see the data structures that are used. MolPort JSON response generic form:
where: Status – int; possible values: 1 – operation was successful, 2 – operation was not successful; Message – string; short informative, human readable message; Version – string; version number of returned MolPort JSON data objects; Data Object – json; JSON representation of returned data objects.
Description: Method to load information about molecule from database if MolPort compound ID is known.
Request:
| METHOD | GET |

You can make up to 3 chemical search queries simultaneously. After exceeding this limit, an error announcement will appear that will limit your search traffic. You can also make 3 active molecule catalog search queries to retrieve information from our database in parallel to chemical search queries. Similarly the same error announcement will appear when exceeding this limit.
Example below describes how to run the CURL sample. Please, perform the following steps: 1. Install CURL: (a) On Win machine install CURL or Cygwin. (b) On LINUX/Mac machine CURL is available out of the box. 2. Execute in command line API request:
