Download tractability data

Hello DepMap Community,

I’d like to know if there is a way to download information displayed in the interface regarding the target tractability (Bioactive Compounds, Druggable Structure, Druggable by Ligand Based, Assessment, Enzyme) ?

Also, I see that these information are coming from canSAR. Could I ask how you retrieve canSAR data (API, file download, etc.) ?

Many thanks in advance,

Best regards,
Nathalie

The information we get from canSAR is via an API which they had shared with us years ago. However, googling now, I can’t easily find any information about that API and I don’t recall if it was intended as a public API or not.

What I do know is the endpoint that we are at canSAR requires a key, so regardless of whether the API has public documentation, you would need to contact them to get a key.

I’d recommend trying to connect with the people that run canSAR to see if it’s possible to get programatic access to their database.

Thanks,
Phil

Dear Nathalie
Were you able to get the tractability data that you asked? I am also looking for it so please suggest if you could figure out.
