(If you want to deploy your own version of this API)
Install all the stuff in requirements.txt. You shouldn't need anything else besides that to spin up your own instance of this API.
Overview of Usage
This repository defines a REST API built using the Eve library for Python. The goal of the API is to expose some synthesis data for various materials, compiled automatically from literature text-mining. Some example routes are given as follows:
- (see everything) https://synthesis-api.herokuapp.com/materials
- (see one material) https://synthesis-api.herokuapp.com/materials/LiCoO2
