Introduction

OJ_Break is the name of the xBio:D RESTful API service to facilitate discovery of data within the xBio:D database. The API can respond with JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), XML, or JSON with padding (JSONP) and accepts HTTP GET and POST requests indiscriminately. The backend of the API is written in Oracle's PL/SQL database language, which is fast but often inflexible, while a Python presentation layer mitigates request handling and authentication.

API Use and Access

Using the OJ_Break API requires calling methods with corresponding, method specific parameters (found in this page) and a few other required parameters. These include specifying a return format and an API access key. 

   Example: http://osuc.biosci.ohio-state.edu/OJ_Break/getTaxonStats?tnuid=30148&format=json&key=FBF57A9F7A666FC0E0430100007F0CDC
