• "ab_fet_threshold": float
• "censor_year" (optional): integer
• "return_pmids" (optional): boolean

Example:

import requests
post_json = { "a_terms": ["cancer"], "b_terms": ["tumor"], "c_terms": ["skin"], "top_n": 50, "ab_fet_threshold": 0.01 }
response = requests.post('http://localhost:5000/skim/api/jobs', json=post_json).json()
job_id = response['id']

Response:

• "c_term": string
• "ab_pvalue": float
• "ab_sort_ratio": float
• "ab_pred_score": float

• "bc_sort_ratio": float
• "bc_pred_score": float
• "a_count": integer
• "b_count": integer
• "c_count": integer
• "ab_count": integer
• "bc_count": integer
• "total_count": integer
• "ab_pmid_intersection": set of integers, cast as a string
• "bc_pmid_intersection": set of integers, cast as a string

Example:

import requests
get_response = requests.get("http://localhost:5000/skim/api/jobs?id=" + job_id).json()
job_status = get_response['status']
if job_status == 'finished':
  job_result = get_response['result']

  'id': 'abcd', 
  'status': 'finished',
