cyREST

Core App: Language-agnostic RESTful API
# *Core App*: cyREST __IMPORTANT: Now this app is now automatically delivered with Cytoscape v3.3 and later!__ You can update your CyREST to the latest version by using the _Check for Updates_ tab in Cytoscape's App Manager. ---- ## Summary CyREST is the technology that powers Cytoscape Automation, which enables you to create reproducible workflows executed entirely within Cytoscape or by external tools (e.g., Jupyter, R, GenomeSpace, etc). This enables Cytoscape to scale to large collections of datasets and larger more complex workflows than is practical via keyboard and mouse. ## With cyREST, you can... * Automate your data analysis and visualization workflows * Use Cytoscape from [python](https://www.python.org/), [Jupyter Notebook](http://jupyter.org/) or [RStudio](http://www.rstudio.com/) * Connect your services to Cytoscape with the programming language, and libraries of your choice -- such as: * Python + NumPy + SciPy for implementing layout algorithms * R + igraph for writing network analysis tools To learn more about Cytoscape Automation, visit our [Wiki](https://github.com/cytoscape/cytoscape-automation/wiki). ---- ## cyREST Paper Please cite our paper for project sustainability: __Ono, Keiichiro, et al. "[CyREST: Turbocharging Cytoscape Access for External Tools via a RESTful API](http://f1000research.com/articles/4-478/v1)." F1000Research 4 (2015).__ ---- ## REST API Documentation CyREST API docs are available within Cytoscape main menu through the __Help__ → __Automation__ sub-menu. ---- ## Related Packages, Apps and Modules * The Cytoscape Automation Wiki contains resources for scripters interested in using python or R to access CyREST [here](https://github.com/cytoscape/cytoscape-automation/tree/master/for-scripters), including wrapper libraries to ease access via CyREST and drastically reduce boilerplate code. * The [RCyjs package](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/RCyjs.html) is a separate but related resource that can be used to display Cytoscape-like graphs in a web browser from within an R session. ---- ## Samples Generated with cyREST and R/Python ![](http://cl.ly/bfUV/structure-aware-layout.png) Figure 1: Graph structure-aware visualization with cyREST, igraph, and R.

CyREST API documentation is now available in the Cytoscape Help menu. * __5/8/2016__: Version 3.4.0 released. Apps can now create REST endpoints. Examples can be found in the [Cytoscape Automation](https://github.com/cytoscape/cytoscape-automation/tree/master/for-app-developers) GitHub repository. * __9/13/2016__: Version 3.3.7 released. Critical bug found in 3.3.6 and this contains the fix for it. * __9/8/2016__: Version 3.3.6 released. Minor bug fix release. * __9/1/2016__: Version 3.3.5 released.
