Overview

Package entrez provides support for interaction with the NCBI Entrez Utility Programs (E-utilities).

Please see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/helpeutils/chapter2/ for the E-utility usage policy.

Required parameters are specified by name in the function call. Optional parameters are passed via Parameter and History values. See the 'Entrez Programming Utilities Help' at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK25501/ for detailed explanation of the use of these programs.

The following two parameters should be included in all E-utility requests. 

tool   Name of application making the E-utility call. Its value must be a string with no
       internal spaces.

email  E-mail address of the E-utility user. Its value must be a string with no internal
       spaces, and should be a valid e-mail address.

var Limit = ncbi.NewLimiter(time.Second / 3)

Limit is a package level limit on requests that can be sent to the Entrez server. This limit is mandated by chapter 2 of the E-utilities manual. Limit is exported to allow reuse of http.Requests provided by NewRequest without overrunning the Entrez request limit. Changing the the value of Limit to allow more frequent requests may result in IP blocking by the Entrez servers.

Functions

func DoCitMatch 

func DoCitMatch(query map[string]CitQuery, tool, email string) (map[string]int, error)

DoCitMatch returns a map[string]int associating keys provided in the query to the citations requested in the query. If email is set, the response will also be sent to that address.

func Fetch 

func Fetch(db string, p *Parameters, tool, email string, h *History, id ...int) (io.ReadCloser, error)

Fetch returns an io.ReadCloser that reads from the stream returned by an EFetch of the the given id list or history. It is the responsibility of the caller to close this if it is not nil. A non-nil error is returned for any http status code other than 200.
