Programmatic access
For experienced users, the best way for quick and automated access to a large volume of data is to do it programmatically, instead of going through the website.
You can access PDBe resources programmatically through our FTP area or the REST API.
FTP access
You can learn more about accessing and downloading the PDB and EMDB archive on our website:
PDBe REST API
PDBe has developed a set of REST APIs that provide easy access to high-quality information regarding biomacromolecular structures archived in PDB and EMDB. They provide a simple, reliable, lightweight mechanism to:
- query macromolecular structure data
- select entries or molecules of interest and access targeted information about them
- including information on the molecules, experimental details, assemblies, motifs, function, taxonomy, structure quality, etc.
